The "euphoria" is the result of endorphins produced by switching from left to right-half brain (or right to left, I forget) and it's alpha waves from TV viewing.
It's all very interesting and exploitable by advertisers.
This link briefly mentions it.

I have not read the studies just the media stories.
Can you concentrate better working from the monitor or from a printed page? I wonder if their is better productivity from printed material but not the satisfaction and contentment (endorphins) from the LCD.
I also wonder why it's caused by artificial bright light but not outdoor sunlight. Full spectrum light?
