Appreciation post: my monitor arm after 3 months of cheap TV trays
I was using two TV trays from Target for my monitors for about 5 months and my neck was killing me every day. Switched to a $35 single monitor arm from Amazon last week and the difference in my posture is insane, I can actually work a full shift without cracking my neck. Anyone else hold off on a desk upgrade for way too long and regret it?

Respectfully, I think people overhype monitor arms. I've been using a stack of old textbooks under my monitors for two years and my neck feels fine. A thirty five dollar amazon arm isn't some magic fix, it just raises your screen. You could do the same thing with anything sturdy. And those cheap arms wobble like crazy if you even breathe on your desk. Give it a few months and see how you feel when the gas spring starts sagging.
