You must shoot 1/60 or slower. Forget Provia, it'll be a color balancing
nightmare (green overhead and blue from the screens). Go with print film
and life will be easier. If you have to shoot chrome, then you'll need an
FL filter (or replace bulbs with daylights). Normally shots like that are
done with studio lighting and multiple exposures.
Good luck
I will second Clyde's suggestion to go with a negative film due to color
balancing and the multiple sources. However, I suggest a shutter speed of
1/8th or 1/30th. This will help eliminate some "banding" that can occur
even if you get a full scan of the screen at 1/60th. Not only is the scan
rate involved, but the "persistence" time of the glowing phosphor following
the scan.
