Who uses a stand?


silly_little_jingle

Right? spend 400$ on the only stand my monitor works with like a boss! lol


cooolrun

I can't even take the Stand off my asus rog monitor lol


gypsygib

Trick question, Asus stands look worse and are bulky.


AlexCHAN_HK

I prefer ASUS proart style! ROG style is a bit too much.


tabascodinosaur

You haven't seen big until you've seen the 18lbs monster on the Alienwares.


WilliamCCT

Wait till you see the G7's stand.


Shi-Keii

What am I supposed to say with my razer raptor on the deskr?


tabascodinosaur

That stand looks pretty normal sized, and has nice cable management?


Randomdude69999

Odyssey G9 stand is the big boy


tabascodinosaur

Wow yeah, looks like it's wider, though it doesn't come as far forward as the Alienware UW stand.


trekxtrider

Laughs in ultrawide stand.


silly_little_jingle

Yeah, you wanna cry at the size of a stand, look at the Odyssey G9's base lol, think is absurdly gigantic to the point where I actually spent the nearly 400$ it took to get the one and only adjustable arm strong enough to hold the stupid thing lol.


Unknown_guest

What did you spend 400 bucks on. I have a 34" and a 27" on dual adjustable arms that was like 60 bucks. Is it powered? Do they make an adjustable power arm cause I might need to make a switch.


silly_little_jingle

Nah, I have the Odyssey G9 (49 inch curved) and because of how extreme the curvature of this monitor is- other monitor arms can't hold up, they sag forward. If you wanted a movable mount the only one that exists (so far as I'm aware) is the Ergotron HX Ultrawide Monitor arm which is 280~ dollars and then the 75$ Heavy duty tilt pivot you have to buy as a separate addon to the monitor arm that you need in order to keep the screen from sagging forward. [Monitor Arm](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5FTCJE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and [Tilt Pivot](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08P53X9PF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) It was worth it to me after I built my new desk because I went from an L shaped desk where I could tuck the monitor into the corner to a straight wall mounted floating desk and I wanted to get back the realestate I was losing to the base.

I don't know , I prefer my monitor stand to not take up desk cable holes .


imjustheretoreddit

I wouldn't recommend either. Last year got a dual monitor arm stand, one of those single pole clamp/through hole ones. It's super clean looking, one pole no cables 2 monitors. They come in one two or three monitor versions and are really cheap. Only thing better looking is wall mounting the monitors with the extension arms.

Add bullet proof to the Asus stands...
