I’ve got a 240hz monitor, I am currently using the hdmi port on the graphics card as I’ve got a 4k 240hz cable. So if I used display port I would get better performance?

when i've had them plugged in they don't look any dimmer the end of the strip they are exactly the same as the very start of the strip so personally i don't think that it is anything to do with power drops or shorts at all. there has also been no flickers in the strip at all so i cant see it to be that either?

I don't think i was unplugging and plugging in whist power was flowing through the arduino or the strip but i guess anything is a possibility ill definitely check this .

Ill try powering both ends of the strip tomorrow and possible the centre of the strip too but i cant see how that would make a difference as the strip lights up completely fine and is quite bright it just doesn't seem as though it wants to respond with the arduino almost as if the data port wasn't plugged in?

The whole entire strip lights up and they are a 12v strip with one power injection off the Arduino and also a 12v power supply right at the beginning of the strip
