Could a $300 monitor arm really be worth it?

Monitor arms are one of those products you want to buy once and never think about again. But when it does come time to pull the trigger, it’s hard to know where to begin. They range in price anywhere from $40 to $300 (not a joke), despite the fact that most of them are made for the singular purpose of holding up your monitor. The Herman Miller Flo is one such monitor arm, usually priced at over $300. But after testing it myself, I get the hype. It uses a different mechanism for holding up your monitor than any other monitor arm I’ve ever seen, and the result is a buttery smooth range of motion without any of the bulk. It’s certainly not worth buying if that’s more than your monitor costs (or if you’ve got a large gaming monitor), but I couldn’t help being swayed by its novelty.
