In addition to the slow shutter, as others mentioned (for a CRT
monitor) here are some other tips. Room must be completely dark. If
your camera has chrome or any high reflectance surfaces, cover them
with black. Either use a timer or wear black clothes. Timer is
better- get everything ready, set timer, and get way back. Also,
clean screen before you begin- easy to forget this step.

Light from monitor can bounce off of any surface close to it, and go
back and hit screen, reducing contrast. ANY ambient light is
detrimental.

One must also turn around three times, say "Boogula boogula boogula" and
then don the foil beanie.
