Compared: Apple Studio Display versus Porsche Design AOC Agon Pro monitor
That's incorrect: in no way can the other mounts be "switched out".AppleInsider said:
[The Apple Studio Display's] L-shaped tilt-adjustable stand can be switched out for a VESA mount adapter or a tilt and height-adjustable version.
