I wanted to make a tv that used the light from the telly to light up a small room. What is the best way to do this? I have tried making the mesh of the screen self illuminated and use the object properties to turn up the gi ammount but it does not seem to bounce around the room much. I have a feeling that photons would do a better job of bouncing around the room but i dont think you can use photons with a mesh. Any tips or tricks to help me out here?

put vraylight very near the television surface, and set it as skylight portal.
this way u can use photons, and the lightsource will take color of the image dispayed in the television. -
the screen is rounded (not flat screen), will that method still be useful?Comment

i believe self illuminated mesh is the best way to do this
you should crank up the generate gi value up and use some color mapping to level the illumination in your room.Comment

it will work. the self illumination still neede, but you'll get good shadows, and the chance to use photon map.Comment
