Reflection of some light source in the window?

You'd be surprised. Getting good light reflection without also producing an image of the surroundings to conflict with the display is harder than it seems.

Maybe it’s time being reflected off of light.

these are the light diffracting off the mirror edges and struts.

I'd have taken it more as, reflected light would be better than straight to the eye light

Maybe have them shine on to a neutral surface with some distance.

Light bouncing around, lighting up things that aren't in direct light.

Don't they play a role in term of light reflection?

Light bounces off of objects, and so this may not be true.

Does it take reflections into consideration?
