Hey Letitia,
I asked this same question a while ago on Frameworks and edwin m had the
following advice on metering for a computer flatscreen (like a nice bright
iMac). I still haven't tried it myself:
"adjusting the screen gamma to 1.8 gives good results. then make a screen
(in photoshop or something) with 18% grey. set up your camera facing the
screen flat on, and make the room as dark as you can. if you're using
colour, remember you'll have to use filters to adjust for the monitor's
colour temperature! take a reflected light reading from a couple of inches
away from the grey screen - the first time i did this, i was surprised quite
how much light monitors give out. use this light reading throughout - don't
adjust for individual frames.
.....
the quality you get from all of these methods is surprisingly good - if you
get it right, you'd be hard-pressed to spot the difference between your
results and something from a much more expensive lab service.
hope some of that's of use
edwin"
