Small money, disproportionate quality-of-life.
Monitor arms, cable trays, privacy filters. Each one is under $50 and each one you'll notice every day.
Frees your entire desk surface and lets you finally put the monitor at eye level. It's not the fanciest arm, but it holds two 27" panels rock-steady for under $60.
Solid aluminum, no wobble, and it puts your laptop screen at proper eye height. Cheap plastic stands flex and slide; this one is a single milled block. Buy it, forget about it.
One wall wart, three ports, enough juice for a MacBook Pro + iPad + phone at the same time. Replaces three bricks under your desk. GaN tech means it runs cool and stays small.
The under-$60 fix for HIPAA-adjacent worries. Anyone off-axis sees black. Not perfect for color work, but for PHI or client notes it does what it promises.
The real thing, not the Amazon foam that crumbles in a year. Twelve wedges is enough for a small room's first reflection points, which is what actually matters.
The monitor arm you buy once. Ergotron's constant-force gas spring means your monitor floats to exactly where you push it and stays there for 10 years. The VIVO is fine; the LX is furniture-grade.
Fifteen programmable LCD buttons that automate your meeting/recording/coding workflow. Mute Zoom, launch a scene, run a shortcut — one tap each. Marketed at streamers, secretly essential for anyone in back-to-back calls.
