Screen reflection

Doesn't matter what i do, i can't make the screen reflect the light the same as in the course! :(
Changing material settings doesn't help ever so slightly.

    Hi Vladimir,

    The Reflection Light seems to be working okay, so the problem might be, that you are overflooding the scene with the other Lights. Maybe reduce the Strength of the other Lights....

    I agree with Martin. What I like to do is turn off everything that emits light in the scene so it's all pitch black. Then I turn them on one by one and I can then actually appreciate their contribution to the scene and from there I can re-calibrate and have less power here, more power there and light things the way I want. Also you don't have to replicate exactly the result in the course, you can have your unique own result and it's perfectly fine, encouraged even.

    Thanks for the quick answer! I followed the lesson thoroughly, turned the other light sources off to adjust others

    With my setup i could only get a light position that would fully light up the screen, however it was bland too (pic 2)

    mid writing breakthrough (at least to me):
    god, i've messed up the voronoi texture node while setting the screen material up haha
    it's scale was too high! 
    i had it at 200, for some reason hah, and it borked the light reflection from the surface for some reason.
    after fully copying your material node setting i managed to get the best reflection out of them all (pic 3)
    still, not as sharp as you had in your example, but it's still a lot better than what i had!

    (also i had my camera too far away in the scene which also lessened the effect of light reflection)
    huh learning shaders and lighting is going to be hard, but i like it!
