Tech and TV industry leaders have rallied around 4K technology as the next big thing in how we experience moving pictures, but it might not be worth the (very pricey) investment for most households just yet. Yes, it’s a higher resolution that makes already-really-blue water look a little bit bluer, but HD resolution is already pretty crisp and most content isn’t even available in 4K yet. There is, however, another piece of new technology that makes the TV-watching (or video-game-playing) experience feel significantly more immersive and doesn’t even require buying a new TV set: the DreamScreen HDTV Backlighting Kit.

DreamScreen puts LEDs behind your TV that respond to the color of whatever you’re watching on the front. Sometimes they’re the same color, like when you’re watching an explosion, and sometimes they’re a complementary color so the picture on your TV pops more. Regardless, the screen will feel larger, the picture will be softened, and the content will be more immersive than ever.DreamScreen comes with 3 HDMI inputs so it’s easy to toggle between multiple video sources. In addition to the lights that go behind your TV, the Total Surround Kit also comes with lights that you can place all around the room – like surround sound, but for light.
