I tried that but looked like too much effort. Instead, I never turn off the room lights any more when using monitors. Seems good enough since oled is coming.

I use a normal desk lamp and point it at the wall behind my monitors. Super easy, cheap, and effective.

Same. I like this lamp for it.

Same!

I do it for both the monitor and the TV, with two cheap "Ingared" lamps from IKEA; can recommend.

LED strips stuck to the monitor itself, pointed at the wall. Powered from a USB port on the monitor if it has one.

This is what I do. Cost what $10 and took about 5 minutes. Well worth it.
