Looking for a VESA desk stand for my monitor.
Need a certain degree of portability so I can't use a wallmount (as much as I would like to)

My monitor a Tempered Glass Crossover q27. Weighs in at around 11kg.
Glass and steel are awesome but so heavy.

Basically I want this:

...For less than $469
I already have tried one Chinese one which I had to send back which looked the same as the one above except only $120 and rated at 2-10kg. Monitor just immediately sunk.

I realise it probably isn't something you can/should cheap out on but I thought it would be worth a try to at least bring it into the sub $200.

Looking forward to any ideas or opinions on VESA stands in general.
Thanks in advance!
:)

Edit:Also, I'm in Australia. Though I have no issue buying internationally

Cheers, went with a ERGOTRON 45-214-026 MX just before.
Ebay for $135 shipped. 13.5kg weight limit and my monitor is 10.5kg approx.
Should be enough leeway
I was gonna double check here first.

Turns out it was a wise move.
Looks great quality compared to the cheapo ($120 :rolleyes: ) one I recieved/returned today.
Thanks!

For those interested it looks something like this

I have my Overlord mounted on one of these, you will NOT regret the purchase. It is VERY well built.

Ergotron apparently also sells there products on Amazon (some ship Prime). I hadn't heard of this company until this thread, but have been looking for a stand. I think I found my next monitor stand :D

Their stuff is apparently aluminium, has good specs, looks great and is far from breaking the bank that others do.
Well, I guess I'll find out how good a stand it is soon enough,

Cool! Ergotron MX vesa mounts? Or just Vesa stands in general?

The one I ordered seems to get some good reviews.
Some a little mixed on the apple store though.
Some say it holds their 27" fine others say it isn't strong enough.

Guess I'll wait and see.
It seems to be in Kentucky atm. Take good care of it my Kentucky brethren.
 
Arrived today!

Seems very, very solid.
Gonna need to drill a hole in the old oak desk for it to work though.
Should be good. I'll give some proper feedback and pics for anyone interested, once I have it installed.
