I’ve had a working setup for a while now. Recently, I accidentally fried one of the LEDs, and it's stuck on green no matter what I try. I figured this is a good time to upgrade.
I've been using 4-pin WS2801s, and they’ve served me well, but I’m looking for higher pixel density and proper white output. I was looking at the LED pin post and the SK6812 144 LEDs seem like the right direction, though I'm not completely sure. They only have 3 pins, which I thought was a drawback. I'm also undecided on which white variant to choose: cool, natural, or warm.
I'm currently getting some ringing, so I was planning to add a 330-ohm resistor to the new strip. I'm just not sure if that still applies with the SK6812s.
One more thing, mounting preference. Right now, the LEDs are attached to the back of the TV, mostly parallel with the wall. Would it be better to angle them at 90 degrees so the light shines outward instead of bouncing off the wall?
