that of an evening when it is getting dark, you tend to watch the tv in the dark, rather than bothering to put the light on, also that the tv can look better in the dark, or are you like my friend, they have to have the light on otherwise they get eye strain or a headache.

I usually do that before going to sleep. I turn off the lights, and only my computer is turned on. But what really bothers me is that the source of light is only coming from the computer. I cannot really see what's behind my computer, my sides., etc.. What if something just pops out from the dark, oh, creepy.

It's just my imagination, I mean after watching horror movies, and some portions of my room can't be seen because of darkness. I may be a way out of line here but I'm just purely kidding.

I do enjoy watching horror movies with no lights but not too often ... coz i do not wish to ruin my eye sight.On the other hand i find it really funny when it comes to folks who get glued to the television as if they do not wish to miss even one frame of the movie being played haha.great day.

I prefer the light off. I am very sensative to light, so I usually prefer the dark unless I am reading. My hubby likes a light on, so we have to compromise all the time. He gets the light on for a few hours, and off it goes around 9 or 10:00 p.m.

I must say what i do is has the light on, as what with getting a nasty head ache from trying to strain my eyes watching the tv.I think that even with a dim back light hurts my eyes as well.Head aches are awful, the same as eye strain.The only time i sit with the light off is when i do not want to be disturbed, thankfully since my husbands friend has moved this has not happened.

I have to have the light on when I watch television. Otherwise I start really getting slight headaches that make it extremely hard to focus on what is on the screen. My level of comfort is important for when I watch television, so that is what I concerned about when I watch television.

I can't watch tv without a light on as it makes me have a headache but I have been watching it with tree lit up and that makes plenty of light for us to have the tv on and no other lights in the house.

I believe watching in the dark is not good for our eyes so I don't do it always, sometimes I do! 
I just have to watch not to close to the tv, I watch not to close and not too far from the tv. It adds to the excitement and suspense whenever I watch in the dark.

If I happen to be watching something, I don't bother to turn on thew light....but it won't be long and I will need to get up during a commercial anyway....then I will turn the light on.
I have never heard of getting eye strain, but I guess you could.
It's sort of cool watching tv in the dark.

I enjoy watching tv in the light and in the dark. During the time of day when it's just getting dusk, I like to have the light on to watch tv. After it is dark outside, I enjoy watching tv movies in the dark, with the only light coming from the tv. Eat popcorn and relax :)

Sometimes I am doing that but then more often I turn the lights on. Maybe later I would try to watch TV on the dark so that it would be more safe in my eyes.
