About
I model total cost of ownership for desk gear—materials, serviceability, and upgrade paths—to prevent false economies and surprise replacements.
Core Beliefs
The cheapest setup is the one you don’t replace. Buy for the hinge, not the hype.
Background
I once saved money on a bargain arm for a midweight 27-inch. Three months later, the tilt joint drifted, and re-tightening chewed the screw head. I mapped price against hinge design, materials, and warranties across dozens of models. Spending slightly more once has cost me far less ever since.
Perspective
I bias toward durable mechanisms, warranties, and cross-compatibility over lowest sticker price.
