When you use your HT are your lights on or off?

68.164.85.95

For the past 6 years with my old plasma, I always watched with the lights on. It was more enjoyable and I tended to get headaches if I had the screen on with the lights off. Last month I replaced my old plasma with one of the new kuro models from Pioneer. The most dramatic improvement is the black level, and now I prefer to watch with the lights off. I'm wondering if this is unique...do most people with plasmas or LCDs that don't have true blacks prefer to watch with plenty of ambient light?
