How do I connect (2) ROG PG278Q Monitors to G750 Laptop?

[JMarlow]

(2) ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q - 27" LED-backlit LCD monitor w/ USB 3.0 hub

(1) G750 SERIES 17.3" FHD (1920 x 1080) display, Matte


What type of Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable/connector do I purchase to connect the 2 Monitors to the laptop? I can not afford to response times and price is not an issue.

Thank you so much.

Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

If I am right and this is the laptop that you have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231630

You will have to use an HDMI cable and some thunderbolt to HDMI converter or VGA to HDMI

1 Thunderbolt to HDMI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812423002&cm_re=thunderbolt_adapter-_-12-423-002-_-Product
2) VGA to HDMI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812186169&cm_re=vga_to_hdmi-_-12-186-169-_-Product

If you planned to use G-sync with that monitor, you won't be able to. Hopefully the monitor is primarily for a gaming PC of yours, and not for the laptop.

There is only 1 type of connection on the Swift: Display port. HDMI cables will not work.

And you will most likely only be able to run the monitor on 60hz, since 120/144hz mode definitely requires DP 1.2, assuming it runs on anything besides DP 1.2 of course.

Thank you for the feedback and responses. Seriously. I really appreciate it. I'm just shaking my head at this point. There is the display port on the swift and a thunderbolt port on the G750. So at this point I believe I'm looking for a mini display port adapter for the on the G750JX-RB71.

Taking price out of the equation, are there any different professional monitors that anyone would suggest that would allow for a dual monitor setup for the G750JX-RB71 laptop? Smaller screen size is fine. Right now I am winning the procurement fail of the year.
