Taking good pictures of old tvs

[baursam]

Hi Folks

I am hoping some of the members on here can chime in with tips to take good,clear, well lit pictures of their tvs. I have a decent camera on my phone, 13 megapixels, and an ok digital camera but I can't get a decent picture of the tvs. Either too dark , because I am trying g to get a good image from the screen,which makes the cabinets very dark. Too much light and I have good pics of cabinets but can not make anything out on the screen. I see many of you posting great quality pics, so would love to know what type of settings you use when taking pics

Thanks!
