Led board? Like a matrix? You are probably best of with a 64x32 LED matrix like this:

I drive these with a Metro M4 Expess and matrix shield on top.
No idea what programming skills you have, but I would do this with the protomatter library combined with Adafruit GFX. No idea how many buttons you want to read, there are not many pins left on the Metro once you hookup a LED matrix, so you might be helped with an shift register like this:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/450 that allows you to hook up many buttons (a whole keyboard is possible if you daisychain some IC's) to 3 digital pins.
