I was looking into options like this 4 months ago. These types of chairs / office solutions have the right intent but are too costly!
What I did was a DIY with 2 Ergotron Arms (the best monitor arms in my opinion) along with a Zero-G deck chair. The deck chairs sell for about $60.

I had to cut-up the keyboard tray myself to get it to hook into the underside of the Zero-G arm rests while leaving enough room so that it doesn't wobble. The keyboard / mouse stay in position because I simply attached some duct tape to the wire. I also had to hacksaw a small piece off the Ergotron arms to get them to rotate downward at an enhanced degree (safe and took under 5 min .. used this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPEiM_Qk0SY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPEiM_Qk0SY ).
It's very comfortable. It takes the pressure off lower spine and is how we should be working and gaming. I recommend doing it. It has helped my back so that I can return to mixed martial arts safely.
Not the best picture but:

- papa_bear 11y agoI did almost the exact same thing! The Zero gravity chair is one of the best investments I've ever made. But instead of attaching the monitor to a desk, I attached it to a heavy duty kitchen cart, and it's weighed down by a desktop computer on the bottom shelf. I call it "cartputer", and I can wheel it back to the desk when I feel like sitting in my normal office chair.
