What would the ethernet port be used for on the Dell S2340T monitor?

Solution
The base of the monitor is a docking station which can help consolidate a computer's (especially a laptop's) function. For example, if your laptop doesn't come with an ethernet connection, the base of the monitor provides that function via USB 3.0.
