Default What mood of home theater do u like?

By this I mean you could have a super cozy home theater room with lots of earth tone colors and some dim lights etc or do you like to have pitch black room with nothing but screen being visible when you are watching your movies. Different strokes for different folks. What is your fav?

I got the "hybrid HT/usable living room" thing going on. I have a lot of earth tones, and some vibrant red for some pop. I've got black out curtains so it gets pretty dark in the day and it can be pitch black at night.

Pitch black may be the best performance wise but in my humble opinion, I'd rather find some sort of balance between good viewing environment and something pleasing when the light turn back on. Odds are that black wall will make the room look smaller and more claustrophobic…

Most movie theaters have their lamps on; they're just dimmed low.
