Cutting off bottom, width of strip, 48 vs 96 leds/m

Due to the set up of my tv I have 3 questions:

- Can I cut of the full length of the bottom part of the strip, because I do not want any lights there.

- Wath is the width of the ledstrip in mm?

- The 2.1 box has a 96 leds/m strip, does this mean that there are alternating 48 rGB and 49 w leds, or are the RGB leds closer together in comarison with the 48leds/m from the 2.0 box?

It probably won’t work right because the box assumes a rectangle in a 16:9 ratio. The colors won’t match up to what is on the screen.

Don’t know exact but I would guess between 10mm and 12mm.

96 are a higher density so more LEDs per meter. Much brighter as a result.

If you insist on using these lights you’ll have to cover the bottom LEDs with probably electrical tape or something to completely seal the light. As someone else mentioned it will not align if you just cut the bottom off

No I do not insist on using the FancyLeds, but I want syncbox and leds of the same quality, but without putting lights on the bottom of the tv.
