We've got the JAC display.

Direct from JAC, I think.

$2000? I wasn't the Solo chairman at the time.

We've had no trouble with ours. Works great. I've never seen the 8"
LED display. A larger size might be beneficial if the numbers show up
as well as the 6" JAC unit and there are no other drawbacks.

Plugs right into the JAC timer and is triggered by the last finish. We
don't use ours for anything else, but I seem to remember some discussion
about trying to find a way to maybe put a red light or something on the
display at Divisional level events to alert the driver of a DNF. (we
had problems with drivers not hearing the announcer and not being
otherwise notified of a DNF run... and proceeding to duplicate the DNF
due to not knowing they had gone off-course)
