Can we talk about cheap monitor arms from that one big online store?

My buddy in Chicago had his $40 arm fail after six months, dropping his main screen onto his keyboard and cracking the corner, so what's a solid budget brand that won't do that?

Honestly, the real cost is the hidden one, like your buddy's cracked screen. A cheap arm failing can wreck gear worth way more than you saved. That's why I'd rather buy a used, known-good brand than a new no-name one.

My old North Bayou arm from that same store has held a 27-inch screen for three years now... no issues at all. Sometimes you just get a bad unit, but the basic design on a lot of those is fine. I wouldn't write off the whole category based on one failure.
