Sometimes you across a product that seems odd at first, but then it clicks: this is one of the coolest things you’ve ever seen. Such is the case with the SPE Bias Multi-Color Lighting Kit for HDTVs, which might seem peculiar to you at first. But trust us when we tell you, this little gadget is going to completely change the way you experience television.

It’s simple: plug the 78-inch LED strip into a USB port on the back of your TV, and then use the 3M adhesive tape to run it along the perimeter of the back. That’s it! You’ll be able to adjust the color and the brightness from the included remote, and you’ll enjoy a backlit viewing experience that turns on automatically whenever you watch TV. It looks incredible — check out the sample photos that people posted on the product page — and it couldn’t be more affordable.

Some highlights from the product page:

  • INCLUDES: 78-in, high quality LED strip light kit to provide bright accent lighting. USB bias lighting, 3M adhesive backing and USB for easy plug-in. For reference: TV in product image is 50”
  • EASY TO USE: Just clean the back of your TV, secure your LED strip light, plug the TV backlight USB plug into the USB port, and you have a great TV light or monitor backlight. Cut the LED strip every 1 inches for the perfect fit. The TV light strip powers on and off with your TV’s USB port.
  • CREATE A BEAUTIFUL VIEWING EXPERIENCE: With LED bias lighting, you create sharper images and color contrast while adding beautiful TV ambient lighting to your surroundings. The SPE Backlight for TV creates an environment that makes your friends and family want you to be the one to host viewing parties.
