A physical dash is an optional addition to a sim rig, but it is one I enjoy. It gives the cockpit a more tangible feel, and a custom dashboard lets me choose the information I want to see. The DDU10.7 was my first experience with a 6.8-inch dash, and moving up from the five-inch displays I had been using made a strong impression.
My verdict at a glance
Best suited to: Drivers who want a larger standalone dashboard with telemetry lights, particularly for a GT-style cockpit.
What stood out: A bright, readable screen, responsive touch controls and mounting options that made the display easy to position or remove.
What to consider: The plastic enclosure feels less premium than aluminum, and the right mount and dashboard profile still matter to the finished setup.
Why the larger screen worked for me
Despite the DDU10.7 name, this is a 6.8-inch display. That size felt more natural to me in GT cars such as the Ferrari 296 GT3 and McLaren 720S than the smaller dashboards I had used.
The 800 × 480 VoCore touchscreen gave me clear, bright information while driving. I particularly liked it with Lovely Dashboard, which let me arrange useful data instead of relying entirely on the car’s in-game instruments.
The screen’s size was the appeal, rather than a claim that a dash is essential equipment. I would cover the basics of a rig first. Once those are in place, a readable display can be a satisfying way to add immersion.
After spending time with this format, I found it difficult to imagine going back to five inches for the same role. That is a preference from my own seating position and setup; the right size still depends on where the screen will sit.
The enclosure, glass and telemetry lights
The thin bezel and rounded edges gave the DDU10.7 a clean appearance. Its plastic housing did not feel as luxurious as an aluminum alternative, but the finish was good and the unit felt solid.
The Gorilla Glass front covered the touchscreen. I appreciated the finished presentation, although I did not carry out a scratch-resistance test.
The 28 diffused RGB LEDs were a highlight. I could use them for revs, flags and spotter information, with brightness adjusted to suit the room. They added the kind of immediate visual cues I want from a physical dash.
A rear power switch was another useful detail. It let me turn the display off when the PC was asleep, something I had missed on other dashboards. It is a small feature that makes the unit easier to live with.
Mounting and the single USB connection
In my original review, the base price included a wheelbase-specific mount. A universal magnetic-swivel mount was an extra-cost option, and there was also an articulating arm for using the dash in a different position.
The magnetic arrangement was useful when switching to a formula wheel with its own screen. I could remove the separate dash instead of leaving redundant information in front of me.
Alternatively, the display could sit beside the wheel as a secondary information panel. That flexibility made more sense to me than treating a dashboard as something that must stay in one position on every rig.
The supplied USB-C to USB-A cable had a right-angle connector, which helped when placing the display close to the monitors. A single USB connection handled the display and lights.
The rear threaded mounting points provided further options. Check the current mount list against both your wheelbase and its mounting bracket; a product name on a compatibility list does not resolve every possible rig arrangement.
SimHub, Lovely Dashboard and DNR
I used SimHub for the review. My setup involved installing the display drivers, adding the device and choosing a dashboard template. Lovely Dashboard was my preferred choice, though a car-specific layout could work just as well.
Sim Racing Addict supplied an LED profile. I chose Daniel Newman Racing’s profile for this display, since I already liked using DNR across my hardware.
I had no complaints about the integration during my test. The touchscreen responded well when switching between pages, and the lights looked good with brightness adjusted for my room.
The display is also listed for Z1 Dashboard and JRT, but my assessment here is based on SimHub. Check the requirements for your chosen software and profile rather than treating this as a test of all three packages.
Using it beyond a conventional dash
SimHub’s screen-capture feature offered another way to use the display, such as showing a radar or rearview-camera area from the main screen. That made the side-mounted option particularly interesting.
I liked having that flexibility when a wheel already had a built-in screen. It meant the DDU10.7 could still have a useful job instead of simply duplicating the same instruments.
For normal driving, though, the simple appeal remained the clearest one: readable information and bright telemetry lights in a physical dashboard. It worked without issues during my testing.
Value and my final verdict
The starting price discussed in my February 2025 review was £249.99. At that price, I felt the screen size, lighting and included mounting option made a compelling package.
The plastic housing was the main material compromise. I was comfortable with it given the overall experience, but someone who strongly prefers an aluminum enclosure may assess the value differently.
I enjoyed using the display across different cars, and the mounting choices made it flexible enough to fit the way I change my setup. I would choose the mount carefully and budget for any optional parts, then spend time finding a dashboard layout that suits me.
The DDU10.7 earned a clear recommendation from my original test. For someone wanting a larger sim racing dash without moving into much more expensive hardware, it was a strong option. The screen, touch controls and LEDs did the work I wanted them to do.
