Do I need a monitor arm?

If your monitor is not at eye level, yes. Proper monitor height reduces neck strain significantly. Arms also free up desk space and allow easy repositioning.

Is cable management worth the effort?

Absolutely. A clean desk reduces visual clutter and mental distraction. Cable trays, clips, and sleeves cost under $30 and transform the look and feel of your workspace.
