Lamps in video games aren't real. It's the video game that's using the electricity.

Video games aren't real. It's the computer components that use electricity

computer components aren't real. It's all just tiny gremlins doing maths really fast and turning pixels on and off

Tiny gremlins aren't real. It's all just a dream. Wake up you have to make me breakfast. I would like pancakes please.

That's like saying "lamps don't create light, it's the flame/filament in the lamp that creates the light"

The lamp is rendered by small electric lights, be it LEDs or LCD. CRTs are in a bit of an grey area. But you can absolutely use a monitor as a light source by itself .
