Do you hate it when it your big-screen TV sits there, dark as charcoal, when it's not displaying The Weather Channel or * Days of Our Lives*? Does that make you nervous? TV2ART's got you in mind with its Lightascope.

At first glance, it looks like it might be some kind of cool random image generator, but it turns out on close inspection to be an opaque black panel with patterns cut in it. You stick it over your set and the bleed-through from whatever crap is on TV gains artistic merit from being thusly obscured. It attaches to your TV with the "latest in nanotechnology," which is to say, "tape."

It comes in 32"-50" sizes and retailes for $100-$200. You can make one yourself for $5 by driving to Hobby Lobby, buying a large piece of black card, and getting busy with an X-Acto knife.
