  This one comes wrapped in aluminum and has a fancy gif of it's doubtlessly over-engineered tilt mechanism!

  Whats truly odd is that it doesn’t matter whether the stand alone is worth so much — why didn’t they just add the price they wanted into the monitor itself, where price variability is less sensitive? Did they really want $5k pricetag that badly? Instead they’ve created this ridiculous and unnecessary situation. It’s done as if they don’t actually want you to buy the stand.., but I don’t know what the alternative is? Is the mount significantly higher margins?

  Can you link to this “same type of stand”, please? It needs to have: - floating counterbalanced vertical positioning for a screen of this weight. - 90 degree rotation Apple first released this kind of mechanism with the Pixar lamp iMac, to float its screen above the hemisphere base; I haven’t seen it for any consumer or prosumer monitor since.

    maybe i'm misunderstanding something, but the following stand [0] appears to be identical to the apple one: - Tilt and lift - Switch from portrait to landscape with bi-directional pivoting - 45-degree swivel (Bi-directional pivoting, tilt adjustment +30° to -5°, swivel adjustment ±45°, 100 mm vertical lift range) [0] https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/dell-optiplex-7760-all-in-one-height-adjustable-stand/apd/452-bdfq/monitors-monitor-accessories#polaris-pd https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/dell-optiplex-7760-all-in-on...
