 hey if you’re considering getting a studio display, just get the fancier stand at purchase. if you don’t and decide to upgrade it later, it’ll be out of warranty and cost you $677 after tax and will take two weeks. on the plus side, they let me keep the stand. and now it’s a bookend 9 comments
 @samhenrigold this is exactly what I was worried about regretting and why I ended up with the height adjustable stand right out of the gate :-/  Lmao wtf this costs about as much as the monitor itself should cost new if it wasn't criminally overpriced for what it is. Also that $100 "upgrade fee" in addition to "hardware repair labor", what is it even for? @grishka they replaced the logic board (which I didn't ask for — it was perfectly fine when I brought it in) and tried to charge me for it, which would've brought my total to over $1100. they comped that but my god at that point I would've just bought a second new monitor  @samhenrigold It'd be nice if Apple just did what most other pro-oriented monitor manufacturers have been doing for ages which is to make the stand attach with standard VESA mounting, allowing the buyer to freely switch whenever. Feels silly that I had to specifically order a VESA variant when ordering mine. @samhenrigold Incredibly glad I got the VESA version haha, but I'm also particular about having the monitor high up |
