    I would love to have two monitors and I'm wondering if my laptop can support that. I want one monitor connected via HDMI and another connected via VGA... If its possible, is it also possible to have the displays NOT duplicated, but extended?

    Haven't tried it, but I don't see why not. Should work.

    Yes, it is possible, however, you won't be able to display on the G53's lcd. I suppose that isn't an issue for you though.

    If you want your notebook monitor on as well you will need an adapter. It will only support 2 monitors at a time (built in with either HDMI/VGA or no build in both HDMI/VGA)
    I use a recommend a USB external video card adapter if you want three total monitors.
