Can we talk about the advice to always buy the cheapest monitor stand?
My buddy Steve, who works in IT, told me two years ago to just get a $15 monitor stand from a discount bin and call it a day. He said height adjustment is a gimmick and you just need a box or something. I listened because I was saving up for my home office, and honestly for the first six months it worked fine. But then I started getting this nagging neck ache after my shifts, and I realized I was tilting my head down all day because the stand was too low. I finally broke down and bought a $60 gas spring arm with adjustable height, and the difference is night and day. So was Steve wrong, or was I just being picky? Has anyone else been given similar advice from a friend that turned out to be saving a few bucks but costing your posture?
