MP 7,1 Best 3rd Party Arm/Stand for Pro Display XDR

[legareal]

Does anyone have any recommendations of stands or display arms for those of us who can't stomach/afford the (beautiful) 1k stand after being drained by the Mac Pro + XDR?

I've been happy with my Ergotron LX (sit-stand model).

Pics of it in this thread.

Thanks, this looks pretty decent. I wonder if they do a desk model.

EDIT: They do!

Believe it (or not) I'm using a $35 stand from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q79ZZJ6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

How’s the vertical tilt on this arm?

I tried both Ergotron HX and LX and not happy with the tilt, not smooth. The spring is too hard even on the lowest setting.
I also tried Human scale 8 but still not happy. It’s a little more wobbly overall than the HX, but the gas spring is best and the arm movements are smooth since it uses wheel bearings where the different parts of the arm connect. the tilt head is not as good as the Ergotron HX as it vibrates a little too much when tilting the monitor.

Otherwise the arms, except the LX, are sturdy and solid. The LX is wobbly and feels flimsy for this size of display. The HX seems the better compromise so far.
