The arm outlives the screen it holds

The mount section of the Study & workshop shelf. A monitor arm is the rare desk object with no obsolescence clock: VESA 75×75 and 100×100 have carried screens for decades, so one arm holds four successive monitors. That makes its cost per year a fraction of the screen's — and makes the warranty on the gas spring, not the casting, the thing you are actually buying.

The display that outlives the computer — Dell UltraSharp vs Eizo FlexScan

The first specific record on the Study & workshop shelf: the display. A 27-inch QHD Dell UltraSharp runs about $370 once, roughly $25 a year over fifteen years — against the computers it outlives. How panel life, VESA, and the bright-pixel guarantee decide which screen lasts, and where the Eizo FlexScan fits.
