Display clock – a big clock for your monitor, TV or tablet
How to use this display clock
Open this page on the device you want to use as a clock: a spare monitor, a TV with a browser, a tablet on a stand or an old laptop.
Pick a colour theme that suits the room, turn the seconds on or off and use the size slider until the numbers are easy to read from where you sit.
Press Full screen or the F key. The controls fade out after a moment, so only the clock is left on the screen.
About the display clock
A display clock is a clock that is meant to be seen from a distance: on a wall, at a reception desk, in a classroom or on a second monitor next to your work. This page is made for that job. The numbers fill as much of the screen as they can and stay sharp at any size.
Dark themes such as Midnight and Mono are easy on the eyes at night, while Ice works well in a bright room. The Roll style moves each number up smoothly when it changes, which is easy to follow from across the room.
The clock checks itself against internet time, so a screen that runs all day still shows the right time. If you leave it running for a long time, switching themes now and then helps protect older screens from burn-in.

How do I use my TV as a clock?
Open this page in your TV's web browser and press the Full screen button. If your TV has no browser, you can cast your phone or laptop screen to it instead.
How do I make the clock bigger?
In full screen the clock grows to fill the whole screen. Outside full screen, drag the size slider to the right to make it as large as the page allows.
Can I use it as a classroom or office clock?
Yes. Put it on a projector or a spare screen and choose a theme that is easy to read from the back of the room. It runs in the browser, so nothing needs to be installed.
Will the screen go to sleep?
While the clock is in full screen, supported browsers keep the screen awake. Some TVs and tablets have their own sleep timer, so turn that off in the device settings if the screen still goes dark.
Does the display clock show the date?
Yes. Today's date is shown under the time, and it changes by itself at midnight.
Can I show the time for another city?
Yes. Search for the city above the clock and the display switches to that city's time.
