so, of the suggestion made, which did you take... single exposure, double exposure/photoshop, etc?

Well done. F16.7, wow you are exacting.

I've done similar before but only on digital. It is perfectly possible as long as you balance the light from the monitor and the rest of the scene. Typically this will be a much darker screen than you think. In the pictures I took (here is one of the set)

There was little available light and the monitor under room light was unreadable. This is a straight, unPS shot.

The PS version is this one (for fans of british Sci Fi humour)

Scott, I tried the double exposure (one for the screen, one for the scene) with the idea of combining them in PS but ended up using the version shown, which matched the reading of the screen to an average of the rest of the scene. Several exposures were made this way, gradually decreasing the brightness of the screen as the ambient light waned.
