    Default do you do it with the lights on?

    do you watch your movies with some light on in the room or do you prefer total darkness?

    i watch all movies on the projector so i prefer total darkness in the room.

    My wife likes the lights on. I like the lights off. Guess which one we do.

    Is there any truth to the old wives tale that "watching TV w/the lights off is bad for your eyes?"

    In any case, in addition to a ceiling fan w/a light fixture, we have some recessed lighting in the four corners of our room so that's what I usually keep on while watching TV/movies. It almost provides for an indirect lighting kind of feeling in the room.

    When we're just sitting around watching TV the lights stay on, but when it's movie time they get turned off.

    I prefer to turn the lights off, except for the backlight on the wall behind my TV. But, the wife likes the lights on when watching movies and TV shows.

    do you do it with the lights on?
    I didn't realize you were talking about watching TV or movies at first

    Since my lights are on a timer, unless I stay up really late watching a movie or a tv show the lights are usually on.
