Not being an expert on radiosity I will add only this - A monitor really
is nothing more that a light source. I personaly would attack this problem
with a filter/transmit image map for the picture on the screen with maybe
a high intensity light source behind it.

For some special effects maybe add just a bit of scattering media to the 
room so that it looks like the colored light from the screen is tracing
a path to the human behind it.
