Found a stat on monitor arm weight limits that surprised me...

Was looking up specs for a new VESA mount and read that most gas spring arms can lose up to 30% of their lifting capacity in cold weather. Anyone else notice their arm sagging when the house gets chilly in winter?

The cold weather thing is real but the 30% number sounds a bit high. Most gas spring arms lose around 10-15% capacity when temps drop below 50F because the gas compresses differently. Check the fine print on your arm's manual, a lot of them have a chart showing exactly how much lift you lose per degree.

That 10-15% drop you mentioned matches what I saw in my manual too.
