It is really hard not to look, I always try not to but every once in a while my eye catches their screen piece and since I play a game many many times I usually know the location of the person.
Poll: Screen Watching.

I kinda have a curse in screen looking. see I try not to do it because I used to do it a lot. but now when I'm playing with my friends I get a six sense and somehow subconsciously glance at their screens and notice they have me in their scopes. so I avoid it. I don't mean to do it half the time.
Haha, I confess I'm guilty... it's just so hard to resist, plus they're probably doing it to you. I rarely play splitscreen anyway so it doesn't matter too much.
Screen watching...never heard somone call it that. It's always screen peeking, anyway I don't do it if I'm playing a serious game(one where score matters) but if I'm just messing with somone then I will.
I don't do it on purpose, but my eyes occasionally catch what's on their screen simply because our vision can't focus on our own screen, it's too wide. It's unaviodable, though if you don't want to be accused of screen looking. just try to forget what you caught on another person's screen.
Here's how I see it. Victory is so much sweeter when my friends know that I'm coming and still lose. So let them watch as the end draws near.
From my extensive Halo 2 split screen experience I can tell you people go through 3 stages.
1. Starting out and learning the controls in which they focus on there own screen and do not have time to screen cheat.
2. Getting into it and screen cheating like crazy as they use their map knowledge to their advantage. Even when trying not to do it, they will occasionally do it just to check the positions of people.
3. Your get good enough that it is more fun to just play the game then cheat. It is at this stage that you develop a hatred of screen-cheaters. Since I consider myself to be at this stage, yes I hate screen-cheaters.
Btw I call it screen-cheating, screen-watching looks queer.

I used to do it in Goldeneye... nothing like knowing the exact angle to hit the wall with a grenade to really ruin someones streak...
Otherwise, I tend to glance around at the other's screens without really using the information I take in... I like to think of it as my terrible memory helping me not be cheap.

Its unavoidable on splitscreen consoles, but just standing still and staring at their screen to figure out their location is kinda low.
When I go to friends houses for LANS, we all screen cheat off of eachother. It doesnt matter 'cause I'm still the best, and those who do it leave the LAN with bruised arms.

I hate screen lookers, my step-brother did it all the time and he always said "How do you know I am looking at your screen unless you are looking at mine too?" and my answer was always "Because you just ducked for no reason when I had my sniper aimed at your head, thats why!" he would then proceed to deny it until it got so obvious and then he would say "Well, I am now because you were accusing me of it."... I would then punch him in the face! XD
