Overclocked price.

This is why I went with the 32" version, Pricing on the smaller version made no sense.

But the 27inch has higher pixel density so sharper and more vibrant images. I'd rather go for the smaller size

I sit far enough away that it honestly doesn't make a difference, Plus I'm not paying more for less screen.
There's absolutely no reason for the 27" to be more expensive, I agree.
Black Friday isn't too far away now - I'm expecting the 27" or the 32" to be discounted. The GL was, after all.

A monitor arm is a nice investment
Av been looking at some of them am just undecided whether to keep my other monitor and get a dual or just stick to a single and sell the other and recoup a bit of money. Either way the stand is going.
Not sure if I was willing to trust an arm to hold, but I did find a nice stand and its working great, (suppose could call it legacy style, basically not pronged), this stand also fully adjustable, tilt etc. If I wobble desk it still is very sturdy doesnt shake.
These modern prong design are hideous, I am stuck behind thinking are they cost savings (material reduction) or some misguided idea putting so called design ahead of functionality.

Have you got a link for that bud? Sounds exactly what am looking for.

If you get a good vesa arm there's nothing to worry about, This one I have which is the Silverstone SST-ARM12B, Can hold 12KG, The monitor only weighs 5KG so there's a lot of headroom and even with bigger ultrawides they weigh around 7-8KG so you still have a lot of headroom.

I have the 32". It is not that heavy(Compared to my 3415W).
My one is one CBS flow monitor arm, with the desk clamp(not drilled through).

I recently picked up one of the Fully Jarvis monitor arms. I spent a bit more than I usually would on this sort of thing but it's just worlds better than the previous 25/30 quid ones I've owned over the years.
Also picked it up because LG monitor stands (27GL850 in my case) are just massive and not actually that impressive. I really like the monitor stand that comes with my AW2521HFL, feels really sturdy and weighty and has great height/tilt etc. The LG stand just feels like a lump of plastic in comparison.

Google this and should be first hit.
"ErGear Single Monitor Stand Freestanding 13-32 Inch Monitor Arm Curved Screen Monitor Mount Tempered Glass Base Adjustable"
The round bit at bottom with stars on looks odd, I didnt bother with it, so isnt required to have that attached. The base is probably bit bigger than it needs to be, but uses up less width than prongs.
I am sure the products are fine, but my concern was if I didn't tighten the attachment to the desk enough it falls off and bam monitor falls.
They are handy products of course, the space saving on desk is as good as you can get.
Excellent cheers. Had a 15% voucher applied to it so went for it. Looks good especially for £22.
