alright gadget geeks, i need your recs on the below. i'm considering getting:

1. new desktop monitor
... but do i need to get a laptop stand if i have a good enough desktop monitor? should i get a portable monitor instead?

2. work chair

3. i can't believe i'm gonna say this but i kinda want an at-home printer lol

1. heard from an ergo consultant that monitor arm was almost more important- want to make sure you can easily move the monitor to prioritize good posture rather than slumping/clenching/etc (similar case for standing desks)

2. went through a ton and ended up with HM's Aeron. had it for 5 years and it's incredible. there's a DWR Outlet in LA where you should be able to get them for a decent discount, but definitely check out customizing online. Also try out different sizes, I'm a size C and it makes a large impact on posture

3. love my printer 😰 I think Brother makes the best/cheapest printers for black/white printing and you basically never have to replace the toner so there's no hidden "subscription"

also happy to dive deeper into any of these! I ended up spending a ton of time on my home setup
