Dual Monitor Arm vs Anti-Glare Privacy Screen Filter
Two picks from our home office catalog, compared side-by-side by price tier, features, and suggested uses.
VIVO
Dual Monitor Arm
Typically under $100
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.

Kensington
Anti-Glare Privacy Screen Filter
Typically under $100
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.
