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

In the very least.....with the lights dimmed.

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.

Ditto what Eddie said.
"same as it ever was"
We need a dimmer option here. I installed a dimmer switch when I wired the lights in and the lights are not 'off', but you certainly couldn't read by them either (including finding things on a remote control).
So, I voted lights on, but it's a lot closer to dark than light
i think there is some truth to that wive's tale. something about retina and too much contrast?
Found this link, FWIW.
More research to be done....
