Now, I know I could do a screen capture, but I was wondering if anyone had
any ideas on how best to photograph a computer screen.

It's easy. You'll need a tripod, positioned with the camera as parallel
as possible with the screen, & a shutter speed that's an *exact*
multiple of the displays refresh rate to prevent dark bars appearing in
the photo. Eg: to photograph an American TV screen (60Hz field rate,
30Hz refresh rate), you'd use a shutter speed of 1/30th, 1/15th, etc.

It's easier on the brain to just do a really long exposure;
a half-frame doesn't matter (much) if you're exposing 60 frames
anyway.

Tripod and a 1Sec exposure works every time, and I don't need
to know the refresh rate.
