My lamp situation took 6 weeks to fix and I still can't believe it

I kept noticing my desk felt harsh and cold no matter what I did with the overhead light. Thought it was the bulbs, then the paint color. Turns out my monitor was creating this weird glare that bounced off everything. I spent about 6 weeks swapping desk lamps, moving them around, trying different brightness settings. Finally bought a simple clamp-on arm lamp with a warm bulb and aimed it at the wall behind my screen. Has anyone else dealt with monitor glare taking forever to figure out?

Took me months too (and way too many Amazon returns) before I figured out the wall bounce trick works best.

My buddy Tom had the same issue for months at his home office, drove him crazy until he realized his shiny new monitor was basically a mirror during the day. He ended up taping a piece of cardboard to the top of his screen as a temporary fix and it worked better than any lamp he tried.
