I tried messing around with Trapcode Lux to get the look you are talking about and couldn’t quite get the desired result (partially b/c of my lack of experience and partially due to the fact that I don’t know how – or if it’s possible – to make the light square shaped.) However, I think you might be able to fake the look of light coming out of the TV using Trapcode Shine. Check this out (you need to have the Shine plugin to open)… I’m not sure if this is exactly what your going for but maybe you can modify it a bit… Also if you don’t have Shine I included some still frames so you could see what it looks like…

Hey… I spent a few hours one Saturday a couple of weeks ago just spattering sheets of paper with ink. I scanned them in and after using Photoshop to take them out of the paper background imported them into AE (7). If you create a mask that is similar to the shape of your ink spatter, yet smaller, and then animate the mask expansion from a negative value (so that none of the spatter is visible) to a high value (in which all of the spatter is visible), you’ll get the effect of ink – or blood – spattering against a surface. Throw down a grungy-looking font and you’re on your way to a cool looking “300 style” title effect. I’m not sure if this is what your looking for, but you can modify things to better suite your vision…
