SmartAVI SM-DPN-2D-S (2-Port Dual-Head DisplayPort KVM Switch / $310.91, was $399.00) Review
SmartAVI SM-DPN-2D-S 2-port dual-head DisplayPort KVM switch discount
Brings dual-monitor DisplayPort switching down to a two-computer desk, discounted from $399, for buyers who need two screens but only two source systems.
Dual-Head Switching for Two Systems
The SM-DPN-2D-S is the smallest dual-head model in SmartAVI's DPN family, right-sized for a desk with just two DisplayPort computers that still wants full two-monitor layout preserved when switching.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the SM-DPN-4D-S already cataloged, the 2D-S saves roughly $390 for desks that don't need four ports. Against SmartAVI's SM-DPN-2S-S in this batch, the 2D-S adds the second monitor head at a moderate premium.
