a studio - display question .....

The display with the regular tilt only stand weighs 13.9 lbs.
That’s pretty heavy.
While the Mac Studio chassis can undoubtedly support it, there’s not a single image anywhere (in apples marketing promotions) showing the monitor being placed on the computer.
There is a clear plexiglass U shaped ‘shelf’ made for the Mac Mini for this purpose so I’m sure that very soon there will be one available for the studio Mac too.

thanks ... I'm going to order the tilt only monitor and hope for a less expensive solution.
I tried placing a monitor directly on top of a Mac Mini and I didn’t like the outcome.
The weight of the monitor was fine but invariably I’m accessing the rear of the computer regularly to attach things (namely USB stick) and I need to move the computer a bit to do it.
When the monitor was on top of it, it made getting at the rear of the computer much more of a pain.
I took it off for that reason.

Here’s the plexiglass shelf for the mini I mentioned (made by Newer Tech)
that's nice. I imagine they will make a model a little higher to fit the studio .....
Apple fracked up with the Studio Display; should have been tilt/height/rotation adjustable from the jump...
i'm glad they did it the way they did. for one, the height adjustment mechanism looks pretty lux so i'd be happy having that if i bought it rather than some sort of cheaper compromise. two, i need a monitor that is positioned as far back as possible and the tilt option is further back than the height-adjustable one, so I end up winning out there.
If you want it to look like this, sure.
That looks nothing like an Apple 2022 27" 5K Studio Display sitting on top of an Apple 2022 Mac Studio headless desktop...?!?
I'm still waiting on my VESA mount Studio Display, but even with a temporary cheapo monitor mounted on my new Ergotron LX I am extremely glad to have gone this route. My desk has an upper platform and sometimes I'd like the monitor a bit closer--it wasn't possible with my 27" iMac. Now I have pretty much infinite adjustability. Hard to imagine going back.
Nice...
If you do any coding / word processing / textual-dominant websurfing, you can rotate for portrait orientation...!
Apple needs to make a 24" (23.7") 4.5K Portrait Display, with the webcam/3-mic array on the top short end & 6-speaker stereo array on the bottom short end; pair it with a M2 (8/10/32/2T) keyMac, Xcode preloaded... ;^p
