SmartAVI SM-EDPN-2D-S Review

SmartAVI SM-EDPN-2D-S 2-port dual-head DisplayPort KVM switch

The smallest dual-head model in SmartAVI's EDPN family 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 costs less when only two monitors are needed instead of four.
