    I've read that the screen contents have to be pasted in later, since

    Compositing was required, not so much because of glare I don?t think,
    but because of a mismatch of frame rates that would lead to unpleasant
    and distracting flicker.

    I look at modern TV news studios, with back walls covered with huge LCD panels showing remote interviewees and correspondents, location
    footage, weather pictures etc, and they?re all captured by the studio cameras just fine (with all frame rates locked together, of course),
    with no discernible glare at all.

    Another problem can also be unwanted reflections of the camera and crew
    being seen in glass in the scene (computer screens, TVs, motorbike or
    space helmet visors, car or shop windows, etc.) These would have to be
    edited out or replaced in post production, which can be difficult even
    with modern computer editing.
