Many "bright spots" aren't really manageable: one runs all around my room and it's called a wall. The other follows me everywhere I go and it's called my face.

Many "bright spots" aren't really manageable: one runs all around my room and it's called a wall. The other follows me everywhere I go and it's called my face. A bright picture on the monitor (say, a Google page) will beat reflections in most situations. But as soon as I open something darker - say the Sublime Text editor in its default (and best) color theme, and it's a friggin mirror. As for "shimmer", I'm afraid it must be a problem of lower quality monitors. My good ol' NEC 1990FX gives me nothing of the sort.
