I use chairs like
http://www.ikea-usa.com/product_presentation/show.asp?productnumber=00010027&type=III&id=6396,415
which come with or work well with a footstool.  That way, I'm only
looking a few degrees down from the horizontal, in a position that's
very natural with the chair.  I don't have neck problems this way.
(While before I started using this setup, I was in pain after every
day of work.)
