Selling a monitor without a stand seems like madness, but if Apple included the Pro Stand and bumped the XDR's price by $1,000, anyone who instead wanted to wall-mount their monitor – which, given that a lot of Mac Pros are going to end up in editing suites and the like, could be quite a proportion of the market – would be rightly annoyed at being charged for an unwanted high-end stand. But hey, that's Apple we suspect that this would be an inelegant solution in its view. Of course, what Apple could have done is ship the XDR with a basic stand like the one on an iMac, with the Pro Stand as an optional extra. We've had a bit of a look around, though, and there doesn't seem to be any sort of VESA stand that looks as good or works anything like as nicely as the Pro Stand does. Pricing starts at 1,599 in the United States for a model with standard glass and a tilt-adjustable stand, with several upgrade options available. Apple today unveiled the Pro Display XDR, a 32-inch 6K monitor with a P3 wide color gamut and true 10-bit color support, 1,600 nits of peak brightness, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and a super. If you're not sold on the Pro Stand then there is of course another option: the $199 VESA mount that you can use to attach your Pro Display XDR to the wall mount or desk stand of your choice. MRW Apple is selling a monitor stand for 999 from reactiongifs While the public seems to be rebelling against the monitor stand, its a good time to remember Apples expensive Mac Pro. Still, though, selling a $5,000 monitor that doesn't have a stand at all feels like a bit of a misfire. Apples 999 monitor seems out of touch with reality, but it may be just what they need to retain their competitive edge in the tech industry of the future. And they're probably going to go on and on about it. So, we suspect that, as with so much other Apple kit in the past, once the Pro Stand's out there and people get to play with it, they're going to love it.
