SmartAVI SM-EDPN-2D-S (2-Port Dual-Head DisplayPort KVM Switch / $388.83, was $499.00) Review
SmartAVI SM-EDPN-2D-S 2-port dual-head DisplayPort KVM switch discount
The smallest dual-head model in SmartAVI's EDPN family, discounted about 22% from $499, for a two-computer desk that wants full dual-monitor layout preserved when switching.
Dual-Head EDPN Switching, Entry Point
The SM-EDPN-2D-S rounds out SmartAVI's EDPN family at the entry level, giving a two-system desk dual-monitor switching with the EDPN line's extended feature set at the lowest price point for dual-head in that lineup.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against SmartAVI's own SM-DPN-2D-S already cataloged, the EDPN designation likely reflects refinements over the base DPN model at a comparable discounted price — compare specs closely. Against the SM-EDPN-2Q-S in this batch, the 2D-S saves roughly $390 when only two monitors are needed instead of four.
