I want to control monitor/tv brightness from my MAC keyboard. I understand the trick to this is connecting a USB cable from the Mac to the display device. Currently I have a Samsung 22" TV hooked up via HDMI cable hooked into an HDMI switch. The TV does have a usb port but it is a type A. So, this either tells me: I need an A to A usb cable OR I should have purchased a monitor instead of a TV. The Samsung manual indicates the USB port is for media play. It says nothing of hooking up the port to a computer. COMMENTS?
