Looks interesting, but the amount of information is very low.

Yeah, as far as i know this is the only solution for an ambilight without a pc or raspberrypi as playback device.
Its however not that new of an idea.

Here is a detailed tutorial (in german):

Or one in english (not that detailed):

Personally im scaptical, lots of little devices in a daisy chain, lots of possible sources for errors, lots of sources for lag. But i have never tested such a system, so maybe it runs perfectly, who knows .

it runs very well look at my website. For an old 2006 SHARP and a 2012 Samsung, there is no lag. On a PLASMA there is a little lag between (25 to 50 ms).

The project itself cost about 250$ CAD. I doubt that the Zambilight is a complete working system.

The demo video is on my samsung. With 102 LEDs.

Well - I took it - the price seems irresponsible low ... 55$ for a completet system including HDMI Splitter, Raspberyy and (or maybe not) LED Stripes - But let's see - even without the stripes it would be cool to have a working HDMI Unit.
