How do you go about adding in the sceen of a laptop? Is there a way to make a material full bright?
Do people just do this as a post process effect?

use an emission node and use the texture image of the screen you want as your laptop image as the emission node.
crank the power down a bit and you are good to go.
I have even used a material mix with a glossy surface and the emission node that gives an even more realistic look.
If this does not make sense.... let me know I will give you more specifics

So, am I correct to think that I should turn the sampling rate down on my monitor emitters? If so, how low should I turn it down?
