Timer Displays 

Timer displays: solve times shown just like at competitions

A display is a large screen that connects to a timer. It shows the solve time live, so judges, spectators or a camera can see it. In this category you will find wired and Bluetooth displays from Speed Stacks, QiYi, YuXin and MoYu. They work well at local tournaments, in clubs and schools, for recording or streaming solves, and at home if you want to train in conditions similar to a competition.

Start with the timer the display will work with

A display does not measure time on its own. It only receives data from the timer, so before choosing a model you need to know which timer you already have or plan to buy.

• Speed Stacks Tournament Display Pro connects by cable to Speed Stacks timers that have a data port. With the StackMat Pro timer it shows the time to the thousandth of a second, and with the older Gen 2 to the hundredth. The backlit digits are readable even from about 30 metres away. The set includes a clamp mount, a power adapter, a data cable and a storage box.
• QiYi Display is the wired version. You connect it to the timer with a cable, and it shows the result to three decimal places. The digits glow red and are easy on the eyes.
• QiYi Bluetooth Display Pro works wirelessly. It connects directly to the QiYi Smart Timer, and to timers from other popular brands via the Bluetooth adapter included in the set. It has a double-sided LED screen, so the time is visible from both sides. It clamps to a tabletop and can be powered via USB-C or four AA batteries.
• YuXin Tournament Display is a wired model. The set includes a stand that mounts to a table or desk, a power cable and a cable for connecting to the timer.
• MoYu Display was designed as a companion to the MoYu timer and has a similar style. It is the best choice if you already use a timer from this brand.

Wired or Bluetooth display?

A cable gives you a simple connection with no pairing, but the display has to stay within reach of the cable. Bluetooth lets you place the display further from the station and reduces cable clutter. This matters especially with several stations or in a home recording setup. The version with an adapter is also handy if you have timers from different manufacturers.

Who is a display for?

You don't need a display for regular practice, because the timer shows the time on its own screen. It makes sense when the result needs to be visible to others. It is useful for organisers of competitions and cubing meetups, people running classes with children and anyone who records their solves. For a younger competitor before their first tournament, it is also a way to get used to everyone seeing their time.
