I've bought Vivo brand for a bunch of mounts (TV and monitors) and other stuff like sound bar brackets etc. I've always been happy with how thoughtful and solid their products are, in the end.
The Vivo stuff doesn't seem specifically impressive until I get some other cheapo brand hardware for slightly cheaper. Then when it's side by side, all of the minor details for the cheapo product seem so blatantly apparent from minor design differences that don't look as refined, nuts and bolts quality to "ergonomic" plastic parts designed that doesn't cut into your skin when you're tightening it etc. IMO, I've typically concluded paying marginally more for Vivo brand (25-50% more) is easily worth it. More than that, I'd consider cheapo brands, but I wouldn't be as happy with going with cheapo brands.
Don't get me wrong, something like a cheapo monitor arm or brackets will still work fine vs the Vivo. But the Vivo for instance I've never had issues with arms that aren't perfectly aligned, or look as raw/sharper edges, or cables as easily snagged on corners etc.
