I've been thinking about something similar to this since reading this article - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/6187080.stm

I was thinking of going one step further and suspending my monitor over my face - at a reasonable distance of course :)

I have a bodged together standing/bed desk - http://imgur.com/Ia9GNwL

I tend to stand behind the desk during the day and recline on the bed in the evenings. I do find reclining with the suspended monitor is very comfortable (sometimes i'll lie almost horizontal with the monitor directly above me) but I think I'd struggle to do a full days work like that.

interesting way to manage the space in a optimal way but coding on bed, that's not for me.
Same here, after reading that article a while back I've been working on way to sit like that while still being able to see my monitors well. Please post to HN your setup when you get it done as I am be very interested in how you would pull it off. Thanks!
cool hadn't seen that, but that's pretty much what i find to be the optimal angle.

monitor hacks are definitely the next step, i'd prefer them higher and slightly angled downwards
