Set that up last night (the led lights on a strip behind TV). There is a slight improvement, but we still wouldn't be able to have the main light on and watch TV as well due to position of ceiling rose and TV..well films/programmes with many dark scenes are a no no with the light on. With 30w 'warm' lamps on in both the alcove corners and the led light from behind the TV it is much better, and actually looks nice, so money not completely wasted
Very relaxing. The little dimmer I bought can halve and quarter the light output from the leds as well, so if less light is needed the wee remote makes it easy to switch.
Once you notice the reflections it's hard not to focus on them. That said, once I've accepted that another TV probably won't solve the problem, only less light, my 'ignore circuits' will no doubt kick back in and I'll just blot it out...as you do. My old 32" CRT and then the other 32" LCD I got to replace it, were both in a corner of the room, for many years; the chimney breast mounted position is new. I think that this has contirbuted to making the reflections more noticeable, probably because there is an adjacent window which is the width of the room, plus two glass paneled doors. That said, I have always considered it to be a dark room, even with all the glass (hence borrowed lights) but it's just how the light scatters in the room.
I think I need to move into a windowless house, or a house with a windowless basement.
