Display
ASUS equipped the G74SX with a 17.3'' display that features Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. Furthermore the display comes with LED backlight and it is 3D capable with a 120 Hz refresh rate. We liked that it wasn't a glare type display which is why there are no reflections when your in a brightly lit room. Astonishingly good were the colors and the contrast ratio. Also the brightness is on a very good level with an anverage of almost 270 Candela per squaremeter. What might increase the lifespan of the display is the fact that is has been moved about two millimeters into the chassis.
Input Devices
The G74SX Gaming Notebook comes with a full-size keyboard and a number pad next to it. Inbetween you also find, usefully placed, arrow keys which are suitable not only for gamers, office users will enjoy them equally. Generally the keyboard is much alike an Apple keyboard. The key drop is well chosen and the pressure point leaves a good impression. The keys themselves come with a slightly rough surface and provide good grip. Furthermore the chassis doesn't bend. This is another indicator for high build quality.
Centered, below the keyboard you can find the touchpad. Fortunately this has
not been integrated into the material of this case and offers a left and a right
key. The touchpad also offers scrolling functionality but this doesn't work very
properly. In on situation it reacts too quickly and in another it doesn't show
any responsiveness at all. Nevertheless the material is very good and even if
you tend to have sweaty fingers it is comfortable to use.
