I’m not an Apple apologist, I don’t even have an Apple monitor. My mantra for any monitor I would buy, including the ones I have now, is: if it doesn’t have a VESA mount and optionally the ability to purchase without a stand… then I don’t buy it.

I suggest people start doing the same. Proper monitor arms are usually around $100 (AUD) and better than almost all stands that come with almost all monitors on the market.

However egregious Apples or anyone else’s pricing for a stand becomes it literally doesn’t matter because you don’t buy it and use the VESA mount instead.
