Hi Nathaniel,
You should check out Niloofar Moghbel's Ph.D. dissertation at:
http://d-nb.info/1025887379/34
It has a whole section on VDT modeling that may be useful. A summary of her work may be found in her workshop presentations at:

Cheers,

Date: February 19, 2014 8:51:03 AM PSTI'm trying to model a computer screen for glare analysis in Radiance. I have measured luminance values for the monitor showing white and black screens in a dark room, as well as spectrophotometer reflectance data on the screen while off. Currently, I'm modeling it using a generic glass material in front of a glow material, but this creates a lot of specular reflection in rpict renderings that doesn't match up with observations. Does anyone have suggestions for creating more accurate Radiance materials to model the monitor?
Thanks,
Nathaniel
