Step 5:
Make a selection like below with the Rectangular marquee tool
.

Select the gradient tool
, and set the gradient to the foreground to transparent gradient.

Set the foreground color to white and make a gradient in the selection. Change the layer blend mode to Overlay. Rename the layer to Bevel. Then Duplicate the layer and move it over to the right. Note: Make sure these layers are BELOW the Black base layer.
Step 6:
Make a selection of the Blue screen layer, then go to Select > Modify > Expand, and enter a setting of 3px. Make a new layer called Black ring, move this layer BELOW the Blue screen layer, then fill it with black.
Step 7:
Make a selection of the Black ring layer and go to Select > Modify > Expand again, use the same setting, press ok. Make a new layer called White ring, and move it BELOW the blue screen layer.
Take out the brush tool again, change the brush opacity to 60%. Change the foreground color to white and make some lightning brushes. Change the opacity of this layer to 46%, which should leave you with a somewhat similar result as me.
Step 8:
Make a selection of the blue screen layer and make a new layer on top of all the other layers called Screen brush. Change the foreground color to white if not already. Make a single click brush in the middle (not entirely in the middle, a bit more to the left and top). Then change your brush size to 500px, zoom out the project and brush a single click brush in the top left of the screen. Add a cool shine gradient, if you don't know how to follow my make a shine layer tutorial.
Step 9:
There are 2 finishing touches left, 1 is optional. First the one that's really necessary. Go to your layers palette and click on the create new adjustment layer icon
![]()
choose levels. Then enter the following values from left to right, Input levels: 29, 1.00, 205, Pres OK. Change the blend mode of the levels 1 layer to Luminosity.

The optional but recommended adjustment is a vertical reflection, I got a tutorial online for this which is called Use layer masks to create reflections. Follow that tutorial if you don't know how to create this last reflection.

That's it's for this photoshop tutorial on making your very own Plasma TV, hope this photoshop tutorial was helpful in any way.
