My new lamp's glare is wrecking my binge sessions

I just redid my living room and added a bright lamp. Now every dark scene on my favorite shows has a huge reflection. How do you deal with light issues in your TV area?

My old place had windows right behind the screen. Blackout curtains fixed the glare issue fast. Totally changed how I watch shows now.

Ever consider your lamp might be a secret agent for the film critics? Sounds like it's staging a hostile takeover of your screen. Mine tried that until I moved it to a different corner and pointed it at the ceiling.

Read about this trick where you put a soft light behind the TV. It cuts down on glare and makes the screen easier on your eyes. I saw it in a home theater forum last year. They said it helps with dark scenes by balancing the light in the room.

Did you try the backlight trick @jordancarr mentioned, and does it really help with dark scenes?
