    For exterior displays, the G50 includes both an HDMI connector for high-def plasma and LCD displays, and a classic VGA port for legacy monitors. While we would have liked to see a DVI port for hooking up modern LCD computer monitors, the ease of converting from HDMI to DVI mostly makes it a nonissue, and if forced to choose between one or the other, HDMI is probably more useful in the end.

    Review By Tech.yahoo

    Further cranking up its visual volume, Asus has adorned the lid with a swirling blue-on-black graphic that’s exclusive to the Vt version. The light-up LED bars get covered over in a translucent chrome trim, and the wrist rest sports a hexagonal embossed pattern that looks as if it’s been lifted directly from the body armor in Crysis. The rest is an amalgamation of finishes, from matte black on the bottom to gloss silver and black trimming the keyboard and display. Even the keyboard has been given a glittery coating, giving it a subtle shimmer.
