Hi all,
This subject of "bias lighting" is peculiar. In my judgement, other than the "bling factor", it's totally unnecessary if you adjust the screen brightness properly to suit the viewing conditions.
There's nothing "hard on the eyes" about viewing television or video display images, unless they are in 3D. Do you want "bias lighting" when you go to a movie theater?
I worked in TV professionally, and all control rooms are dark, as are professional screening rooms. Images look their best in dark or nearly dark rooms. Of course, if you run your display or projector in a salesroom "torch mode" (maximum brightness), then I suppose that might cause some type of viewing fatigue, but all modern displays and projectors have "cinema" settings that have much lower brightness than the torch modes used in bright showrooms.
Save your money and simply use the "cinema" setting on your video display and calibrate the image for ideal viewing in a dark or dimly lit room.
Regards,
Alan
