Personally, I want complete darkness behind the screen. Like a theater. I even avoid screens where the border around the screen is shiny black because it reflects any light behind me and detracts from movie. IMO

My 6er is named the 'Phoenix' because it arose from a mangled wreck to what it is now, (still not too much) I saw it on a 78 trans am in 'day breakers' it may be stupid, I don't know....

The biggest potential problem is introducing color bias into the viewing experience, but in some cases you can actually use that to an advantage.

On the positive side, it helps reduce eye strain. You can make them as bright or as dim as you would like.

They are Phillips lightstrips; integrated into the lightbulb system I had posted a few pages back. They definitely add a layer of depth to the content on screen(and really to the room as a whole. I need to turn every light on Red in the place and watch 300.

Agree with this. It gets in the way of what's supposed to be the focus.
