I had some fun along similar lines, while testing some robotic video conference cameras with a small LCD engineering monitor, I got some neat video feedback going. On a high level of zoom, the blue-green color similar to the default low-res Windows desktop color was the most common result when all settled, but I was able to send them into an awesome color-shift loop (thanks to the slight delay) in the orange-red range by waving a hand between the monitor and camera. Then of course there was some Jefferson Airplane-esque psychedelic feedback effects when I zoomed way out, much like a mirror trick (seeing the camera in the monitor in the monitor, etc...).
This sort of pointless activity kept me amused for at least 20 minutes.

No, i am not obsessed with horizontal lines!
