or
2) setting up lighting for minimum light on the screen and then using the Lightroom "Dehaze" on the screen only to eliminate the lowlight fog.

I also usually boost the "Texture" on the screen to make it look sharper - as anyone who owns one knows, the low-end CTC-5 chassis needs all the help it can get.

Simultaneous contrast effects in the human eye do the equivalent when direct viewing.
