    those really huge displays are often millions of individual RGB LEDs. it would just be a software nightmare to do with hue bulbs.

        I’m guessing you’d hit interference at some point.

        But also latency would be bad and you almost definitely couldn’t synchronize them well.

          Yeah, fair point. It would be no good to have each pixel of an enormous display doing its own processing, and trying to wirelessly command that many lights at once doesn’t seem possible at all.

          Yeah, I’ve done something similar with ~120 wifi bulbs for a light show that responded to music and that worked fairly well but I doubt it would have worked with more than a few hundred.
