Is it possible to power a usb device from the power board on a monitor? I know there are monitors with usb drives, but I cannot find one for super cheap.

what do you want? a monitor with a usb-out? that's like, basically every monitor. You'd rather fucking hack the power board and find a 5v rail and wire some sketchy usb power out?

I want to power a raspberry pi with the monitor. This way I only have to plug in one cord into an outlet

can you not just run a USB extension from your PC or something? You might be able to find which (if any) traces on the board are at +5 to ground, but it will probably be tough without the board being labeled. you'll need to patch in wires from the power contacts of a female usb connector to those traces (you can ignore the other ones), and then check the current to make sure it's not ridiculously high and will kill whatever you're charging.

BUT WHYYY!?!? you're basically building a less powerful, more expensive, and less portable kindle fire. with the only benefit being that it's bigger

Would rather build something though.
Rpi entertainment thing could sit on the kitchen counter. Calender on a big display, can use as a digital picture frame, and watch videos or play emulated games. All for like 40 dollars
