    I bought an Asus G73SW and would like to use one of my external monitors. What do I need for an adapter? I see a very small vga port and an hdmi port.

    Thank you in advance...

    I will guess from context that you need to connect to a DVI input, so you'd need an HDMI to DVI adapter.

    You can use a HDMI to DVI adapter or cable to connect the external monitor.
