SmartAVI SM-DPN-2Q-S (2-Port Quad DisplayPort KVM Switch / $622.60, was $799.00) Review
The SmartAVI SM-DPN-2Q-S is a 2-computer, quad-DisplayPort KVM switch with 4K@60Hz output, discounted to $622.60 from $799.00.
This drops the computer count to two while keeping the full quad-monitor DisplayPort output of the SM-DPN-4Q-S in this catalog, aimed at a two-machine quad-monitor workstation, the kind of setup where an analyst runs four screens but only ever needs to switch between two computers, not four. It's priced below its 4-computer sibling, reflecting the smaller input count even though the monitor-side hardware is largely the same.
Quad Monitors, Just Two Computers
Built for workstations with four displays but only two machines to switch between, all four DisplayPort monitors move together as a set whenever the active computer changes.
The Lower-Cost Quad-DP Option
Dropping from 4 to 2 computer inputs brings the price down noticeably from the SM-DPN-4Q-S while keeping the same quad-monitor, 4K@60Hz output capability.
Comparison to Alternatives
Versus the SmartAVI SM-DPN-4Q-S — that supports 4 computers instead of 2 at a higher price, worth it if more machines need switching. Versus the SmartAVI SM-D2H-4Q-S — that's a mixed HDMI-output 4-port model, worth comparing on exact connector needs.
