If you want most amount of monitor, and least amount of fugly, Midway cocktail cabinets are hard to beat.
The Bally/Midway cabinets have a full sized 19" monitor, while the Nintendo and Ataris have smaller monitors, with a larger footprint to boot.
Sitting at a couch and playing a cocktail game will probably not work. You will be too low down to see anything. Remember that monitor has a big ol' pointy neck going down to the floor.
If you built something from scratch using an LCD, then you may be able to make it low enough for what you want to do. I am not sure how shitty that LCD will look from that viewing angle. They look bad enough just looking straight on.
