Hot take: monitor arms vs stacked books for raising your screen which is actually better for your neck?

I was talking to my buddy who's a physical therapist last weekend and he swore monitor arms are a waste if you don't adjust them weekly, but I've been using hardcover textbooks for 2 years and my neck feels fine. Anyone else dealt with this or got a cheap solution that actually worked?

My sister is a nurse and she told me the same thing actually, said if you just set it to one height and leave it there you basically paid for a fancy paperweight. I was all about monitor arms until I measured my stack of books and realized it's exactly the same height every day. Now I just use an old wooden cutting board under my books to get that last inch perfect.

Wait a physical therapist actually said monitor arms are a waste? That's wild.
