Gaming: Lights on or Lights Off?

[Robert-The-Rambler]

So which do you prefer?

I game with the lights out to make the experience more immersive. I find lights to be distracting and I wouldn't watch a movie at a movie theater with the lights on so I figure I would game in the dark as well.



Whoops I accidently voted for lights on. Can't seem to change my vote. LOL

Darkness!

Depends on the game. If I am playing something like Resident Evil or Dead Space, then it's lights out, any other time, lights on.

 

[AsRock]

Lights off, but tend to keep them on for the sake of my eye's.

 

[Fourstaff]

Lights on, usually not bothered to turn it off.

 

[MilkyWay]

If i game with the light off i have a lamp on, like i said in another thread its not good for the eyes to look at a bright monitor in the dark because you strain your eyes.

So yeah i have some sort of light on all the time. Although its pretty dull with the desk lamp i have behind me.

Lights Off definitely. Also helps give much better contrast quality on the monitor/tv.

 

[Neuromancer]

Both.

lights off, bias lighting, naked, bag of doritos.

Typically I kick the lights off, but only if I feel that I'll only play for an hour or so (which usually turns into 3 anyways). If I know I'm in it for the long haul the lights go on so I don't look like I just smoked 3 lbs of weed after I beat the game haha.

Low-light owns lights out, not much stress on your eyes, but almost all the benefits of darkness

^^ this.

i turn the main lights out but use a lamp about 10 feet away for a lil bit of light so i dont strain my eyes to much in the dark, also hard to pack a bowl or roll a doobie in the dark.

Lol

You could always take a break to roll the doobie.

I don't want my gamepad any greasier.

That depends on who I'm with.

Lights Off definitely. Also helps give much better contrast quality on the monitor/tv.

If the display device is a quality one it does look better to my eyes as long as the backlight doesn't blotch.

 

[HossHuge]

This is how I always game. So which one should I choose?

 

[remixedcat]

I got a lamp that emits a warm low light in a red room.

also hard to pack a bowl or roll a doobie in the dark.

practice makes perfect. Plus it's one less thing you have to re-learn if you ever lose your eyesight




On topic: bias lighting here

 

[Ray_Rogers2109]

I prefer lighting off.

 

[specks]

I can do with both but I play with lights on more often.

 

[jpierce55]

Dim lights on, or my eyes start to burn.

 

[DrPepper]

Moths are a pain in the arse so lights off.

 

[Frizz]

I love lamp

Absolutely can't stand using the PC for anything in a dark room. I've got 2-3 lamps always burning when I'm in this computer room. The only time I turn them off (besides during daytime) is when I'm watching a movie fullscreen.
