I don't have much trouble with monitors.  It's all those gratuitous
brilliant blue LEDs (many of them flashing) which manufacturers insist
on putting on everything these days.  Once when I was doing sound for
a play, the board's pilot light was a blue LED that was so bright that
I had to cover it with three layers of masking tape so that I could
see anything else in the darkened hall (including the board itself).
