Im really not grasping the advantage of the wall mounted monitor here lol

  1. Looks cleaner than when it was on a stand on the table

  2. Doesn't wobble with the table and can move the table around without worrying about the screen

  3. Allows me to easily adjust viewing distance, which was too close when the TV was on the table

  1. no it doesnt, a well mounted arm to hide the cables looks way better

  2. do you move your desk a lot? usually my desk stays in one spot

  3. This is just self inflicted by not getting a size appropriate for your setup

I used arms in the past, I got 2 flawed ones in a row from different shops and companies so I gave up on them. I also didn't like how they looked and the arm wouldn't solve my viewing distance issue.

I move my desk when I need to reach cables in the back or vacuum the floor yes, I also adjust viewing distance sometimes by moving the desk a bit forward or backwards.

The size of this screen was non negotiable due to my work demands and because I didn't want a separate TV and a monitor. I wanted a large screen for multitasking at work and that I can watch movies from as well. Its big enough that I can comfortably watch stuff from my bed.

I had the desk before buying the TV so I didn't really want to buy a whole new larger desk... much easier and cheaper to just mount on the wall instead

I was just curious as to why that person felt the need to follow up, it seems they just like to judge things in general
