What is the USB 3.0 Type-B SuperSpeed socket on my display for?

0

I just bought a new LG 34UC98-W screen which comes with a USB 3.0 Type-B SuperSpeed socket on the back along with two Type-A sockets.

The type A sockets are for connecting USB devices to a computer connected via Thunderbolt but what is the Type-B SuperSpeed connector for?

Besides the thunderbolt connection, you can also use the Type-B port to connect the monitor to the pc:
