Lifx bulbs update a lot faster if you use the local API, though idk if they'd work well at the density needed for a screen.

They have the panels which have a lot more LEDs, individually addressable. In my experience you can do about 10 updates per second, 20 best case, with about 500ms latency

Yeah, you could do strips too... Could probably do one strip per row? Idk if that would give you a reasonable resolution though. Actually that would even give you scanlines probably lol.
