Whats the purpose of back lighting your tv? Why do normies have

>>86302714
It's fun, helps set the mood. As far as any practical purpose goes though, yes. It's pointless.

>>86302714
LED strips are pretty cheap and easy to install. Retarded normies think they're tech gurus because they can stick them on the back of their tv and plug them into the wall. Just hop over to reddit and look at all the horrible LED strip DIY projects people post there.

its americans and their passion for gimmicky shit that distracts you from what youre doing.

It improves the viewing experience. Your eyes don't react well to having a rectangle of light surrounded by total darkness

It's so you can see the tv.

>>86303099

Reduce eye strain without having to navigate through endless menus to turn down the screens back light.

Reduced eyestrain, definitely.

The part people get wrong is seting too bright like your picture, or setting it to a blueish color that strains your eyes even worse. Soft white, reds or greens are best.

Just dim the lights in your room

I don't see the point either, that shit distract you while watching the tv, especially if the colors keep changing

It helps set the mood. It provides subtle lighting for the room while not reflecting off the screen of the TV(diminishing the picture).

It's great.

Backlights are nice and if your tv is backlit you can have illumination in the room without the chance of creating glare on the screen

Why doesn't every cinema have a backlight then? Why does not one high end TV have a backlight, only these slightly above low end to appeal to gimmick loving brainlets?

Because a proper movie theater is a different environment than most home setups, and even then most will have some form of subtle lighting on things like the steps.

Plus, projectors are significantly brighter than TVs, and the room to screen ratio is different. Often times light bounced off the screen from a projector will fill the room.

>>86304863
If you have money you buy and make a theatre room with perfect acoustic treatment and a proper screen setup, not a gimmick filled SMART3D curved Samsung TV with a fucking backlight that was on a 50% at Walmart because no one wants to buy it.

>>86304946
Then get a bigger TV, rather than getting a smaller one with a backlight?
And your points are retarded, the lighting on the steps in the cinema is so you can fucking see the steps and not fall down on your face, while backlight serves no functional purpose other than pleasing sub intelligent brainlets

>>86302714
It's FUN! Don't tell me you're one of those silly-billy wishy-washies who doesn't like FUN, OP?

>>86303099
Have you ever noticed that cinemas aren't completely pitch black?

>>86305478
Yes they are?
They aren't when you enter so you can see where the fuck are the seats and steps, once the film starts all the light are completely shut off and the whole room is illuminated by the screen alone. What third world country are you living in that they have to keep the lights on?

>>86305614
Wrong. The steps are illuminated, there's an exit sign, and they keep a subset of the lights very dim on the ceiling. There is a small amount of ambient light

>>86305793
>The steps are illuminated
Yes, the bare minimum so you can see it and not trip over. It doesn't affect the lighting of the room whatsoever, you can sit beside it and not notice it.

>there's an exit sign,
Yes, and you see it only when you exit, to imply that the fucking exit sign changes the room lighting is absolutely retarded

>and they keep a subset of the lights very dim on the ceiling
Factually wrong. All the other lights you mentioned have a functional reason so you don't fall over or know where to go if an emergency breaks out, this literally makes no sense whatsoever to exist. Feel free to provide with a single proof for this.

>>86305991
You've already admitted you were wrong. What other proof do I need?

>>86306034
An exit sign and the small LED lights on the steps illuminate maybe an inch of room, not the whole theatre room. And if they weren't needed even those lights wouldn't be on, but they have to be.
A single smartphone has stronger lighting than any of those.

>>86305991

>All the other lights you mentioned have a functional reason

Street lights have a functional reason to be there, that doesn't stop them from altering the amount of stars you can see at night, Anon.

>>86306116
>all the light are completely shut off and the whole room is illuminated by the screen alone
> except all those other lights that are on

Kay, bro

>>86306163
But street lights have the function of illuminating the whole STREET, while the lights on the steps illuminate only that small part of a single step so you can see where the each one is if you have to go to the bathroom during the film.
If there was a switch to turn off the lights on the steps I highly doubt you would notice any difference as when they were on, while you can definitely notice a difference when the fucking street lights are off.
This has to be bait, here's my last (You)

So light pollution is an unknown concept to you?

When will the price of OLED televisions come down? They keep saying "next year" but a 65" is still between 3000 and 7000 goddamn dollars.

>>86306575
When people will stop buying them at these prices
