On: A $999 monitor stand is everything wrong with Apple today

[Terretta]

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)
