Stands
Overview
There are several options for stands below:
Attached stands
Unattached stands
Complex stands

Attached stands
Here's a typical VESA-attached stand. This one came pre-attached to the XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus. It is my favorite VESA-attached stand because the wide lever is easy to reach and operate.
VESA is a standard to mount displays to various things using screws. More here: VESA
These stands attach to the back of tablet via screws. Because they are VESA compatible, they work with any drawing tablet that is VESA mountable.
Pen display size
Stands me be intended for use with a specific size range of pen displays. Pay attention to the specs.
It's important to match the stand with the height of the pen display.
Some issues you might run into:
A stand designed for a smaller pen display will have its angle adjustment lever in a position so that it is convenient to reach by putting your hand over the top of the display. However when used with a large display that lever may be much more difficult to reach.
A stand designed for larger pen displays may not be as stable when at its lowest angles because the bottom edge of the pen display may not rest on the desk. This may introduce some wobble.
Options
Some people have had success with the Ergotron Neo-Flex Stand. See this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/wacom/comments/1b527hs/finally_found_a_stand_for_my_cintiq_pro_27/
In 2025 XP-Pen released the XP-Pen ACS15 Ergo Stand. This reminds me a bit of the STAND-V100R which I like so the ACS15 is one I plan to get soon.
Unattached stands
here are the key features:
They are height/angle adjustable
Some can vary the angle continually and you can lock them into a specific preferred angle
Some only support 1 or two angles
They have a "lip" at the bottom to help secure the tablet
The tablet is not attached to the stand
They have rubberized surfaces on top to prevent the tablet from sliding off too easy
They have rubberized surfaces on the bottom to prevent the stand from moving around on the desk
These stands are simple and inexpensive, but beware that since the tablet is not secured to the stand, it can be easy to knock the tablet of the stand.
