@forHim247 No, a USB port can't power a monitor. This monitor uses TWO USB ports, and even then, breaks spec.
Monitor requires 6.3W. iPad consumes 2.5W. Max output of two USB ports is 5W. Where is this prototype getting the extra 1.3W? An overdriven pair of USB ports.

So a usb port can power a monitor, but not an iPad?
@forHim247 Yeah it bugs me too, I even tried it with USB3.0 and it doesn't work :-/
@Kaemon USB 3.0 can Give 10 watt power so it should power the iPad. You usb 3 ports might be damaged. ;(
@trentryan
