Just bought our first house! How can I make my gaming set-up work with this roll-top desk?

Please don't mind the clutter! We are week 2 in a new home and we are still in the midst of unpacking! We finally have a home that has space for a gaming room! Problem is, now that we have room for it, we have no clue what to do with it.

I thrifted an antique roll-top desk that has always been a dream of mine to have. I had the bright idea of turning it into my gaming desk; however, as you can see, the monitor doesn't fit within the roll-top.

I'm wondering if you geniuses can help me brainstorm a way to make my monitor work here. Or if I possibly just need a different monitor altogether.

Anyone know of any cool wall-mounts that can allow for my monitor to extend and lower a significant distance from the wall? Or any cool mounts that can maybe be anchored to the roll-top shelf itself and then be lowered?

I have no clue how to make this work or if this is just gonna be an eyesore altogether!
