A:AnswerHi LMax! Thanks for your question!! Yes you did receive all the cords that come with the monitor one hdmi cord and power supply cable and adapter. I don’t think usb is going to be the way to go here if you find yourself using a second monitor for your laptop often I recommend investing in getting a laptop dock or docking hub it allows the use of monitors through usb the one I have supports up to 3 external monitors (see pics for more detail) you use standard display cables or HDMI this one has one hdmi and 2 standard display ports
