Hey Guys,

i am creating currently a smartphone and try to get a good looking screen shader. What could be a good way to make a
simple screen texture shiny glow and glossy? using blackbody and apply a texture to it?

Why don't you use a material mix? Diffuse for emission & Glossy for shiny reflections?

^ That would do the trick!

However a slightly more realistic approach would be two faces with separate materials, one as the screen (again, diffuse with emission texture) set back slightly from the front of the object, then another with a glass material that's flush with the front.

Agreed. Would be the best solution, but then if you're lazy to model that, just do what I suggested or follow profbetis's advice.
Your choice

Thank you guys i will try it
