I use 2x27" 4K LG's (good panels for the money, ~£350 each) on a cheap (but honestly awesome for the money) dual vesa arm that is incredibly comfortable, having them up off the desk gives me more space on what isn't a huge desk (WFH) I couldn't go back to use regular stands, having the monitors essentially float in mid-air is ideal for me.

Any recommendations for the Vesa arm specifically? Looking to get one

I have both of these -- both purchased at the same time via Amazon, needed two mounts and figured I'd use the "better" one in the primary location:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K9MQTB1/ and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T3KCQ94/

They're both extremely similar; you really can't go wrong for <$25. I actually have 3 of the cheap one now, only 1 (the initial order) of the more expensive one. They're functionally identical for my usage; and it's a huge ergonomics win no matter what.

Also, if you have a desktop mic, buy a microphone arm for it; is similarly fantastic price-vs-value proposition (though monitor arm is massively more useful upgrade just due to how much you use it).

I’ve used amazon basics single arm wall mounts for the last 3 years, and dual arm deskmount for the last 2 years. They are pretty good quality, I’ve had no reason to look to replace them with another brand.

edit: apparently I have the premium version. Not sure they used to be called premium. The spring mechanism counterweight makes adjustments to my 27 and 24 inch monitors seemless.

I have this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FLEXIMOUNTS-F6D-Dual-monitor-moun...

It’s great and handles the two screens fine, can lock it off by tightening up the Allen headed bolts once you have it just so.
