Surround sound has come a long way since its inception, but for the most part it has remained relatively "flat" in that while you'll hear sounds from in front, left, right, and behind you, in real life, sounds come from above and below you, too.

Unlike most complex 3D-printed objects, which require expensive industrial-grade printers, this retro-style LED-powered TV can actually be printed on just about any consumer-grade 3D printer on the market. You can make the entire thing with just a couple hundred bucks in parts -- and a 3D printer, of course.
