One of these days the brain researchers will find a way to integrate an RGB nano LED to each synapse. Bio-luminescence in neurons is so old school, and not compatible with our neuromorphic chip overlords of the future. The opposition of this trend will be labelled as Coolheads by the ruling consumer class and persecuted for their lack of statistical predictability. The Church of Good Night Sleep is founded.
What if you just had a panel just full of RGB? Just millions of RGB "color zones" that you could stare at all day. Enough so that you could even display images or text on it if you wanted. But no, that would be absurd.
Haven't seen much RGB on business-class laser printers yet. I eagerly await the day when my documents are vomited out at me from an inferno of RGB and whirring rollers.
With da mighty overdrive, 10% color space coverage and necessary document generated for each page printed to tell you what that thing on paper was supposed to present :p
Gaming chairs with battery packs and wirelessly synchronized RGB has yet to show up. You used to be able to buy USB cables with LEDs, too, so there is still room to make things worse.
Network equipment is going in the opposite direction and is (unfortunately) having the LEDs taken off for power saving and "stealth" purposes, at least if Virgin Media's Hub 4 is anything to judge by.

Power cords need to have RGB, and pulse/change colors from green to red, or speed up some animation/motion as the system load increases.LiviuTM - Thursday, October 3, 2019 - link
CPUs, obviously. No, no, no, wait! Something even better: RGB for each individual transistor. I have spoken.TeXWiller - Thursday, October 3, 2019 - link

But if they slap $0.20 of LEDs in there, they can charge a $20 premium!rrinker - Thursday, October 3, 2019 - link
Has anyone lined the display bezel with RGB LEDs yet?spooh - Thursday, October 3, 2019 - link
Bezel is not enough. I can't live without pulsing rainbow effects in my LCD's backlit.Lord of the Bored - Thursday, October 3, 2019 - link
Ambilight, only backwards!PeachNCream - Thursday, October 3, 2019 - link

Gaming Printer! 240 Hz!valinor89 - Thursday, October 3, 2019 - link
That would be a very fast printe indeed. But imagine having to load paper every 5 or so seconds...HollyDOL - Thursday, October 3, 2019 - link

Is there a gaming phone charger?tiggers - Friday, October 4, 2019 - link
How about a gaming chip-bag holder? As the bag gets lighter, the RGB lights start to cycle faster.
