screen glow

Monitor's ambient light

Screen glow is the soft light emitted by electronic displays—phones, computers, televisions.

The term often carries negative connotations about excessive device use, particularly at night: The screen glow from her phone lit up the dark bedroom.

Blue screen glow before sleep is associated with disrupted circadian rhythms.
