It is like the difference between reading with your reading lamp shining directly in your eyes and being pointed at a wall.
You don't "get the light directly". Modern LCD screens are "edge-lit", and the screen is illuminated via a light-guide which evens out the light intensity. So just like the lamp being pointed at a wall, to use your analogy.
