Shoutout to the monitor arm that gave up after 2 years on my desk in Chicago

My left monitor arm just snapped at the gas spring joint last Tuesday while I was adjusting the angle... luckily the display just tilted forward and didn't fall off. I had a Vivo arm from Amazon that held a 27 inch Dell, but now I'm wondering if gas spring arms are worth it versus a fixed pole mount. Anyone else had one fail like this and switch to a different style?

Switched to a fixed arm after that happened to me.

Yeah I feel you, that's a rough way to learn a lesson for sure.
