Any stands that are standout and befitting the design of the new displays?

Its doesn't really help answer your question but this article seems pretty good at comparing vesa arms...

As weird as it feels, I don't think I'd mind an amazon basics $100 arm holding up the $5000 monitor, as it would be hidden away behind the screen.

But yeah would like to see some other nice arms to go with the Pro Display XDR.

Many thanks for the links. I guess I'm looking for one that doesn't need to be screwed into the table or wall. So a clamp system might be best.. Otherwise it's Apple's $999 stand, but I like the idea of the vesa arm as it could mean freeing up table space from where the stand would sit..

I use these, which support up to 18kg.

They come with everything required to either clamp or drill through the table, but personally I would drill if you're going to VESA mount it. The clamp is bound to leave a mark on your table over time anyway, and if you'd rather your furniture remains unmarked I'd go with the Apple stand.

I'm pretty keen to get the XDR, and will probably mount it using the VESA arm. I don't particularly love the look of the Apple stand.
