my sis just got her new computer with a 20 inch wide screen monitor and it has ustream and downstream usb ports, and we don't understand what the difference is.
the upstream port is the port where the cable from the usb-port of your computer goes in.
Connect the enclosed usb-cable between your PC's usb-port an the upstream port of the monitor. if this is done, you have 4 usb-ports (downstream) build in your monitor. Two on the back, where all other cables are connected and two on the right side of the monitor. The downstream ports are the ports where you can connect all your usb-devices (e.g mouse, mp3 player, usb-harddisk etc. etc).

Hi Dot Dot,
the upstream port is the port where the cable from the usb-port of your computer goes in.
Connect the enclosed usb-cable between your PC's usb-port an the upstream port of the monitor. if this is done, you have 4 usb-ports (downstream) build in your monitor.

Hope i could help a little.
