it can depend on the model, and ive never used USB on a monitor before but they can have various uses:
if it's USB A it's likely to be a straight extension/hub for usb devices, PC > monitor > mouse/keybaord daisy chain monitors i believe is possible if they are USB C (i dunno maybe USB3 on an A connector as well), so multiple monitors from one video cable / video port on the PC. also with USB C lightning you can output video and power for example from a laptop to a compatible monitor, check amazon for portable monitor. the real answer for your specific monitor will be in the manual, a quick look at the specs online might tell you also. |

Apparently usb-c can carry 100 watts of power.
Quoting from ViewSonic - 'The ViewSonic VG2455 Series monitor, for example, utilizes USB-C to offer an all-in-one cable solution. With one powerful port, you can easily transfer power, data, and video, eliminating the clutter created by multiple cables and ports' - though in checking the documentation for the VG2455, it still talks about plugging in a traditional power cord. |

With the traditional monitors it's just a way of a providing a convenient USB hub close to your keyboard/mouse. So you can plug your keyboard, mouse, usb keys in there without having go to below the table to fiddle with your PC.
Usually those ports are USB2 so I wouldn't use them for anything that requires speed, like external HDDs or similar. As mentioned earlier in this thread, some newer monitors has USB-C, but I haven't had any experience with those. The only USB-C I have used is at work with a USB-C hub and it is not really anything I would recommend at all, it's quite unstable has hiccup's at the worst possible times. |

Just found out my Brother-in-law uses a setup like this - for his tablet.
Thanks to his monitor having USB-C, he can hook his iPad up to the monitor via the usb-c and with the one cord, both power/charge his tablet, and use the monitor as a secondary screen for the tablet. |
