SmartAVI SM-EDPN-2S-S Review

SmartAVI SM-EDPN-2S-S 2-port single-head DisplayPort KVM switch budget

The smallest and least expensive member of SmartAVI's EDPN family, giving a two-computer desk single-head DisplayPort switching.

SmartAVI's Entry-Level DisplayPort Switch

For a simple two-PC desk that wants SmartAVI's build quality without paying for extra ports, the SM-EDPN-2S-S covers basic single-head DisplayPort switching at the lowest price in the EDPN lineup.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against IOGEAR's GCS1742, the SmartAVI unit costs more but offers SmartAVI's EDPN feature set; budget buyers may prefer the IOGEAR. Against SmartAVI's own SM-DPN-2S-S, the EDPN designation likely reflects added refinements over the base DPN model.
