SmartAVI SM-EDPN-2Q-S (2-Port Quad-Head DisplayPort KVM Switch / $778.44, was $999.00) Review
SmartAVI SM-EDPN-2Q-S 2-port quad-head DisplayPort KVM switch discount
Brings full four-monitor DisplayPort switching down to a two-computer desk, discounted about 22% from $999, for quad-monitor trading setups that only need to reach two systems.
Quad-Monitor Layout, Two Systems
Not every quad-monitor desk needs four or eight source systems; the SM-EDPN-2Q-S delivers the same full four-screen layout preservation as SmartAVI's larger EDPN models but sized for just two computers.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the SM-EDPN-4Q-S, the 2Q-S saves roughly $390 for desks that only need two source systems. Against its own SM-EDPN-2D-S sibling in this batch, the 2Q-S adds two more monitor heads at a meaningful premium.
