When you watch movies at home, do you TURN OFF LIGHTS?

I don't like turning off the lights because it can "damage" the eyes in a way if you always do it. The TV emits some kind of waves that's bad for the eyes if it's the only light source... at least that's what i know. Haven't really looked into it yet though if it's true.

I love watching movies in the dark, it feels like it's only me and the subjects, the heroes.

No, I don't. Even if I just surf the net I keep the lights on because I feel sleepy once it's dark. I only turn it off if I will surely go to sleep. Maybe a lampshade will do, it's okay for me but totally dark? Just the light from the tv? I guess I'm going to snore after an hour of watching. hehehe..

For me it really depends on what kind of movie it is. If is a funny movie I will grab a bag of popcorn and turn off the lights to watch it. If it's a scary movie then I'll just leave the lights on.

I turn the main light off when I watch a movie, but I have to have a light on so I turn the up-lamp on or a light that is behind me (if it's in front of me I tend to get a headache).

Yep ! LIghts out. I don't like to see the rest of the room...just to focus on the screen !

It depends on what tv you have. I don't usually but my son likes the lights off now since we got our big flat screen. It's one of the first flat screens so it's not one of those real thin things, but the picture is still really nice.

This will really depend on my mood at the timme am watching this movie.sometimes i jsut want to feel lik am in the movies so i switch off the lights ,i have a large screen t.v with a sorround sound system which adds to the cinema feeling.

Unless I'm eating a meal, I definitely do. It gives me that movie theater feel, so, I love it!

I don't turn the lights off either, because when its dark, the tv is really bright and it hurts my eyes, makes them blurry.

No, I don't turn the lights off, unless my husband really wants to, and that's only for very special movies. I like to do needlework while I watch. I find it hard to sit still at home without something to occupy my hands unless I'm reading.

Lights off. :) Especially when I'm watching horror flicks.

No i dont ... its not good for the eyes as they get very strained and then i start getting an head ache

i turn off lights

Never. I do not know anyone among my friends and family who do!

I don't. I have a lamp that has a three way light bulb. I keep it on the lowest when I want to see a movie. The only time I saw a film without any lights was Platoon many years ago.Someone somewhere said to really understand how it really was is to see Platoon with the lights off. So I did.It was great.

No I don't. I feel that movies are best watched in the cinemas. It is just different there lol. So if I watch movies at home, it is just like a normal program. And so, I see no need to switch off the lights. Cheers!

manya pearl I am with you. I get a headache when watching television with the lights turned off. its most uncomfortable and if I am by myself I never do turn the lights off at all. Sometimes my son will turn them off when he watches but not me. I get to feeling sort of seasick. lol

same here.i even feel some horrible if all the lights are turn off.

I dont either.Because the TV camera switch can harm your eyes.You konw that?
