Hey, I want a cut too. ;-)
But not for illuminating the walls but instead for putting 'Ambilight'
on the black borders of wide screen TV's when displaying 4:3 material.
This avoids burn in and makes the bars visually less obtrusive. I
think the black borders are way more important than the room.
See my impassioned plea and suggested video filter from a few months
ago: www.trbarry.com/Displaying_4x3_on_16x9.htm
