I found this interesting article at How To-Geek regarding bias lighting for your monitor and/or TV.
Basically, bias lighting is providing a light source that illuminates the wall behind the screen.
"There’s a good chance you’ve been watching television and working at your computer for years in a way that fatigues your eyes, increases your chance of headaches, and overall decreases your enjoyment and comfort. Read on as we show you how to create a comfortable and high contrast viewing experience with bias lighting."

That's a very good article, Preston, makes sense. I'm definitely going to try it, even just a dim 15w light would make a difference. These old peepers of mine need more and more help everyday. I own more pairs of reading glasses than I own pairs of socks...
I like the idea of using a 6500K light source since most devices are calibrated to that color temperature. The USB LED strip by Antec that is linked to in the article looks to be great solution.
