Screen mounted sound bar

Question

I am looking to upgrade my screens. I currently use three old U2415 with an AC511 soundbar mounted directly on the screen. As far as I can see, current models (U2719D, P2720D etc.) only supports mounting the soundbar on the stand.
This is not an option for me as I don't use the stands and my screens are mounted in the VESA brackets.

Is it correct that your current screen models (U2719D, P2720D etc.) doesn't support mounting the soundbar directly on the screen?

Thank you! We have received the required details. The U2719D and P2720D sales site shows the Dell AE515M Pro Stereo Soundbar which utilizes the extra ASM01 Soundbar mount 520-AAPV, 0PMPD, $14.99.

So that's a no?   ASM01 is the 'stand'-mount I was referring to. Is there no current-gen monitors that support mounting your soundbars DIRECTLY on the screen? Like it was previously possible with the AC511 and U2415.

@px-nis  That seems to be correct.  If you look at pictures of the rear sides of recent Dell displays, they don't have the notches that the clips of earlier generation soundbars are designed to slide into in order to attach to the bottom edge of the displays.  I have a pair of U2717D displays and they don't have those notches.  They also annoyingly use a wider than normal Dell stand, so even the new stand-mounted soundbar isn't compatible with them.  Dell never made a soundbar that worked with the U2717D displays, and then they switched the successor to that model over to the thinner stand in order to make newer displays compatible with the stand-attached soundbar.  So the U2717D never got any love.

Is it still possible to get the ASM01 soundbar mount? Link seems to be broken.
