Well the light is coming from a rectangle precisely covering the area of the 
image, but outside of that there's a background brightness of 0.5 to keep 
the lighting nice and soft. If I wanted it to just look like a scene inside 
your monitor I'd enclose it in a box, but I'm going more for a window into 
another world type effect.

True but it's a completely un-optimised scene. I just left it running in the 
background at work and didn't really notice how long it was taking!
