Studiofoam Wedges (2" x 12-pack) vs LX Desk Mount Monitor Arm
Two picks from our home office catalog, compared side-by-side by price tier, features, and suggested uses.
Auralex
Studiofoam Wedges (2" x 12-pack)
Typically under $100
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.

Ergotron
LX Desk Mount Monitor Arm
Typically under $250
The monitor arm you buy once. Ergotron's constant-force gas spring means your monitor floats to exactly where you push it and can be adjusted as your setup changes. The VIVO is fine; the LX is furniture-grade.
