This is the third arm I am using on my personal computer (the previous two were simply installed on other computers in the office). I had the Dell MSSA18, which I was relatively satisfied with, but I wanted a greater range in the height of the screen, and for that reason, I replaced it with the top value for money arm from Brateck LDT13-C012, which for its price is simply unbeatable and excellent in terms of quality and functionality! However, my wife was complaining because the Brateck arm was more "stiff" in its movements and generally did not move as easily when she sat at my desk and wanted to change the position of the screen in terms of height and distance.... So after quite a bit of complaining, I made up my mind and decided to spend (to avoid the complaints and have peace of mind, I paid whatever it took) and ended up with this specific arm to hold my Dell Ultrasharp 25-inch screen, hoping that moving it and adjusting its position would be much more comfortable than the previous arm.

The arm is very good and sets high standards in terms of quality and ergonomics. Its assembly is a breeze and can support either Dell screens or any other VESA screen. It is sturdy and can lift a screen up to 38 inches. Its base occupies a piece of the desk measuring 11x11 cm, so make sure your desk has the necessary depth from the edge to fit securely. It has a channel for cable management (power, USB, video, etc.) and generally has a serious - professional and "neat" appearance. Moving the screen is incredibly easy with one hand; it is only stiff in the height adjustment (especially when you want to raise the screen), where you simply need to grab the screen with both hands. Unlike the Brateck LDT13-C012, it does not "loosen" and does not require tightening over time. You can place the screen exactly where you want; it has a particularly large range of motion and will satisfy even the most demanding or curious about how high or low, back or forward they want to place it, while it is mainly suitable for those who need to move their screen often and want to return it relatively easily. It also has various adjustments to bring it exactly to your liking, as well as safety locks, which are detailed in the Dell manual and in videos online (for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ-M27RLazA). It is perhaps one of the most quality and ergonomic arms on the market and the best that Dell has produced (I have seen up close and used both the MSSA18 and the MSA14), which explains the extremely high price.

In summary, it is an excellent arm at a high price that will satisfy even the most demanding for many years to come. However, if you want an arm and do not need to move the screen and change its position often, then it is better to go for something cheaper and practical (e.g., the Brateck LDT13-C012) since this arm, no matter how good it is, is not value for money. The price of around 150 is certainly high for an arm, no matter how good it is, but on the other hand, I avoided my wife's complaints, so for me personally, it was worth the financial stretch. On the other hand, you don't change the arm every year, and it's more likely that you will keep this arm and change two or three screens over time, so from this perspective, it is worth it as an investment for the future because it is a product that you will definitely keep for a long time.

UPDATE 12-1-2025: After 5 years of continuous and reliable use, I bought a second identical arm for the office. All these years, I haven't had the slightest issue. No matter how much you move the screen daily, wherever you take it, the movement is smooth as if there is no screen on it while the arm doesn't notice. After three years, it didn't need the slightest adjustment. Excellent!
