The **Display** block shows data from other blocks in one of several formats, including images, text, numbers, and charts. It automatically detects the best format for incoming data, or you can select a format from a dropdown list. See [Visualize data in Postman Flows](/docs/postman-flows/build-flows/analyze/visualize-data/#visualization-types) for a complete list of display formats.

The **Display** block has an output port, so you can send the data to another block. The **Display** block doesn't transform the data when it visualizes it, and the data remains in its original format when it's passed through. The **Display** block is useful in many situations, including troubleshooting your flow, analyzing different blocks' output, and visualizing data in dashboards.

<Info class="iconless-callout">
  The **Display** block was previously named **Output**. A different [**Output**](/docs/postman-flows/reference/blocks/output-module/) block is available.

## Input

The **Display** block has a single input port that accepts data from any other block.

## Output

The **Display** block's output port sends the data it receives without altering it.

## Setup

Connect a block's output port to the **Display** block's input port. You can optionally connect the **Display** block's output port to another block's input port to send the same data it received.

The **Display** block automatically detects the incoming data's format, or you can select a format from the dropdown list. If the format is **Text**, you can adjust the text size by clicking the **Display** block, then clicking <img alt="Setting icon" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/descriptive-setting-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> **Additional Settings > Text size**.
