Are there any features you're looking for? Such as full motion articulating arms. Dual/Triple mount.

Are you willing to bolt it to the desk?

Ergotron is one of the best names in this area I know of.

Thanks. will check Ergotron. I am thinking of just one monitor on my desktop. yes, I am Ok to bolt to the desk.
looking for flexible Arm to Hight and tilt adjust frequently when I want to move the monitor closer
if it matches Apple Display's look & feel, that is a bonus.

Apple Studio Display vesa version finally arrived. Mounted on HumanScacle M8.1 monitor arm.
Alright, sweet. I have questions:
  • What is the dual arm in the middle?
  • In the middle there's a video conference backlight, I figured that out. But what's the mount on the left, is that some kind of mount thingy for your Macbook?
  • What about the hammock-like thing under your desk, what is that? :)

woww cool setup.

what kind of standing desk it? beautiful wood top.

Ive been thinking if doing a similar setup, but one thing im worried about is monitor wobble.

Do you experience monitor wobble with your studio display mounted on the standing desk when typing, etc? Is wobble ever something you notice?

I went with a pair of Humanscale 2.1 arms. I’ve used Ergotron in the past and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them but liked the Humanscale design a bit more. The 2.1 is fine with this monitor weight so I didn’t think the 8.1 was necessary. Unlike cheaper monitor arms, the Humanscale and Ergotron weight ratings are fairly accurate.

I also have an Humanscale M8 as a mount. (use to have a iMac 27" on it)

but for those wanting to save some money, the Humanscale M2 is also good enough to hold the Studio Display
the Humanscale M2 can hold a monitor up to 7.2Kg, and the Studio Display weighs 6.3Kg

I original bought humanscale M/Flex M2.1 dual arm monitor mount. this M2.1 is not strong enough to hold large monitors. So I end up buying humanscale M8.1 singe arm which I am using with studio display now.
I am planing to use M/Flex M2.1 dual arm for holding laptop and elgato ring light.
This is the Humanscale Notebook Holder. I am trying to get for other unused arm

i have to buy this vesa adaptor to mount ring-light to arm

Can you stick 2 monitors together so they are side by side? eg The Studio Display with the new PS5 monitor coming, is that something you can do with VESA? I would remove the Studio stand and the PS5 M9 stand and use a VESA stand that could support both, if thats how it works.

I bought the LG 40-inch 5k display and ended up returning it. Lemme tell you, no display will ever come close to an apple display. The lg was so inconsistent!! and once you mount it, it will loose its persoality

Wow. This is a great setup. Can I ask what is the mount you are using to allow the Humanscale monitor arm to hold the Elgato Ring Light? I have an Elgato Key Light and would like to have the same thing. Thanks!
