Virginia's scoreboard orders sit almost level between the diamond and the gym, yet the models tell a different story. In our sales and shipping record for the state, baseball edges basketball as the leading sport. The two most-shipped models, the LX2655 and the LX2350, are both indoor basketball displays. On the field, the smaller LX1030 leads the larger LX1060.

What follows reads that record model by model, for athletic directors, coaches and facility managers choosing a gym or field scoreboard. Each featured model is described from its own spec sheet. Each variant keeps its own figures, too: the LX2655-ETN carries an electrical line separate from the base LX2655. Where a document is silent, I say so rather than fill the gap.

Rules shape the choice as much as records do. In gyms, the NFHS per-quarter team foul rule raises the question of which digits the score table wants on the wall. On diamonds, the question is whether a pitch count belongs on the display at all.

How should you read our Virginia sales and shipping record?

Our Virginia sales and shipping record holds 463 records across 180 cities and towns from 1999 to 2025, ranking Virginia sixteenth of fifty states by units shipped.

Every one of those records is listed by city on the Electro-Mech state page for Virginia, and the counts in this article are the ones that page prints, as of the September 14, 2026 snapshot. Across those records, our data counts 75 distinct models. A model is counted by its LX equivalent, which means the variants of one design, such as 2350, 2350-C and LX2350, count as that one model.

Three rules govern how the record is built, and each one changes what a number can tell you:

• One row per organization, model and city. An organization with two different models on record fills two rows, the same rule the state page applies.
• Sold and shipped, not standing. The record shows what we sold and shipped. It does not show what was installed, where it went on a campus, or what is still in use.
• No organization names. The state count carries models, sports and places rather than buyers, so this article discusses models and sports rather than individual schools.

The common assumption is that a shipping record maps the scoreboards standing across Virginia today. Not necessarily. Some orders sit in storage for months or years before they go up, and the record is silent on that.

Folding variants into one model keeps the counts honest, but figures on a spec sheet do not fold the same way. Our review of the LX2655 documents shows one electrical line for the base model and a separate one for the LX2655-ETN, so a number for one variant never stands in for the other. Sport and model counts also answer different questions. According to our LX2350 model page, the LX2350 "covers the basics needed to keep up with almost any sport," yet its built-in Bonus and Possession indicators mark it as a basketball scoreboard.

Set side by side, 3 of our own sources point the same way: the count says what Virginia buyers chose, and the spec sheet says what a model does. In practice, read the two separately. Check the exact variant before comparing any figure. Readers who want to see the indoor models in one place can start with our basketball scoreboard catalog, then open each model's own spec sheet.

Which sports and models lead the Virginia record?

Baseball leads the Virginia record with 180 records and basketball follows with 170, yet the two most-shipped models, the LX2655 and LX2350, are both indoor basketball displays.

Our data gives the sport tally for the state as follows:

The model ranking tells a different story. Counted by LX equivalent, the five most-shipped models in Virginia are these:

Any LX2655-ETN orders sit inside that first figure, because the record folds each variant into its LX equivalent. According to our basketball scoreboard page, the LX2655 is "Our most popular indoor scoreboard for Basketball and other sports," and the Virginia order record lines up with that description. The LX2350 follows it as the second choice for gyms.

Baseball does not converge the same way. The first baseball model on the list, the LX1030, sits third. Our LX1030 model page describes it as sliding in between the LX1050 and LX1060 in size, and as having turned out to be "just right" for little leagues and high schools across America. Its larger sibling, the LX1060, comes fourth.

The implication is that gym buyers settle on a few standard layouts. On the diamond, no single model leads the way the LX2655 does indoors. In my reading, that is the first thing a Virginia athletic director should take from this record: a gym purchase in this state usually starts from one of two proven indoor models, while a baseball purchase starts from a real size decision.

Football follows at 83 records, well ahead of the smaller sports. Readers comparing outdoor options for that sport can browse our football scoreboard range. Soccer, hockey, softball and lacrosse together form a thin tail in this state's record, so the rest of this article concentrates on the gym and the diamond.

How can you review a model before you request a quote?

Start with three documents: the Virginia state page that lists every record by city, each model's own spec sheet, and the rule your officials apply.

The state page shows where a model shipped. It does not show how the model reads in your gym or on your field. The spec sheet covers cabinet size, weight and amperage, and the base model and ETN variant each get their own line. The rules decide which numbers the display carries: NFHS Rule 4-8-1 for team fouls, and league age and days of rest for youth pitch counts. Bring all three when you ask our team for a quote.

What is the LX2655, and what does its spec sheet show?

The LX2655 is an indoor basketball scoreboard in a 9 ft x 5 ft aluminum cabinet, and its model page calls it the company's most popular model for basketball.

Having shown that the gym models lead the state, the model at the top deserves a closer look. Our data, from the LX2655 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08), puts the cabinet at 133 lb and spells out the digit layout: Guest Team Points, Home Team Points and Period Clock digits are 12 inches tall, and every other digit is 9 inches. Bonus and Possession indicators are 3 inches. The base LX2655 draws 1.5 Amps. The model page adds that many of our indoor designs are variations on this same layout.

According to the LX2655 model page, "Like our other indoor Multi-Sport models, LX2655 includes removable caption plates along the bottom that allow you to label the lower half of the display for use during Volleyball games or Wrestling matches." The same page offers the model in a center-hung, four-sided configuration. What this tells us is that one cabinet can serve basketball, volleyball and wrestling in a single gym. The plates change the labels, not the hardware.

Three items on the standard equipment list shape daily operation:

• A full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display
• Fifty programmable brightness levels and an internal horn
• A data output port for daisy chaining additional displays, plus a goal light output port

Options on the same sheet include Double Bonus Indicators, ID panels above or below the cabinet, and the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system.

The LX2655-ETN is documented separately, and the differences matter. Our review of the LX2655-ETN cutsheet lists 5 in tall 9 x 48 pixel Electronic Team Names alongside a four-digit Game Clock (MM:SS), Home and Guest Scores, Period, Home/Guest Team Fouls/Won/Points, Player Number/Game/Match and Player Foul. Its own spec sheet gives 4 in and 3 in captions and 2.2 Amps. I would read the two documents side by side before choosing a variant. For the operating side, our scoreboard manuals page is the place to start.

The quote request template below puts the model and variant first. Our Virginia sales and shipping record is organized by model, so that is where the conversation starts.

Lines 4 to 6 carry the decisions this article covers. Each line maps to a spec sheet or a rule. Fill in every line before asking for pricing.

When is the smaller LX2350 the better fit than the LX2655 for a Virginia gym?

The LX2350 fits a Virginia gym that needs points, the period clock, the period, and bonus and possession indicators in a 9 ft x 3 ft cabinet.

The LX2655 is not the only gym model Virginia buys in volume, and its runner-up is a leaner design. Our findings from the LX2350 spec sheet put the aluminum cabinet at 89 lb, with 5 in and 4 in captions and a draw of 1.2 Amps. Guest Team Points, Home Team Points and Period Clock digits are 12 inches tall, and the Period digit is 9 inches. The LX2350 shares the LX2655's width, not its height, and it is the lighter cabinet. The LX2350-ETN has its own spec sheet. That variant draws 1.9 Amps.

According to the LX2350 model page, "you can tell by the built-in Bonus and Possession indicators that LX2350 is made for Basketball." The spec sheet files the same model as Indoor, Basketball / Multi-Sport. The model page also notes that the uncluttered layout does not look jumbled when ID panels for advertising are added. Its options go further, with extended configurations that build ID panels into the left or right side of the cabinet. In practice, the LX2350 suits a gym that wants sponsor space beside a clean scoring layout.

The tension sits in the foul count. Under NFHS Rule 4-8-1, in place since the 2023-24 season, two free throws are awarded for all common fouls once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter, and team fouls reset at the end of each quarter. The NFHS change eliminated the one-and-one. The LX2350 spec sheet names Bonus and Possession indicators but names no team-foul digits. The LX2655-ETN layout covered above does carry Team Fouls and Player Foul rows. This suggests a plain dividing line. A Bonus indicator tells the gym the bonus is on. A team-foul digit shows how close each team is to it.

My recommendation to an athletic director is to list the numbers the officials and players need before comparing cabinets. A scoreboard's first job is accurate information for them, and spectators come second. Where the Bonus indicators and sponsor panels cover that list, I would lean toward the LX2350. Where the score table wants team-foul and player-foul digits on the wall, the LX2655 earns its larger cabinet.

Which baseball scoreboard do Virginia fields order most, and what does it display?

The LX1030 appears most among baseball models in the Virginia record: an outdoor 8 ft x 4 ft scoreboard with 18-inch Runs and Inning digits and Ball, Strike and Out indicators.

Baseball leads the sport count, yet its most-shipped model ranks third overall, behind the two gym models. The diamond side of the record spreads across more models. Our data, from the LX1030 spec sheet, puts the aluminum cabinet at 113 lb with a 6 in caption in 2.4 mil cast vinyl. All digits are 18 inches tall. Indicators are 4 inches in diameter, and digit colors are amber or red. The model draws 1.1 Amps at 120 VAC.

The LX1030 model page says our "MM" console is included in the package, and the spec sheet lists a simplified 15-key control console as standard. Standard equipment also covers mounting hardware for two posts without on-site fabrication, conformal coating on the LED display circuitry for outdoor use, and a junction box and patch cable for hardwired installations. Options include a full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display, the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system and Stadium Sound System packages.

According to the LX2350 model page, its Bonus and Possession indicators are what mark that model for basketball. The LX1030 follows the same logic outdoors. Its Ball, Strike and Out indicators tie it to the diamond. On size, the LX1060 spec sheet puts the larger model at 10 ft x 5 ft and 160 lb, against 8 ft x 4 ft and 113 lb for the LX1030. Both carry 18-inch digits and 4-inch indicators and draw 1.1 Amps, so the larger cabinet does not buy taller digits. It buys a bigger board with a 7 in caption against the LX1030's 6 in. I would weigh that against the field and the fence line before choosing between them.

Buyers also ask which baseball scoreboards carry pitch count and ball-strike displays. In 2016 the NFHS Baseball Rules Committee revised Rule 6-2-6 so that each member state association develops its own pitching restriction policy based on the number of pitches thrown in a game. Little League publishes pitch count breakdowns by league age and days-of-rest thresholds for each division of play. The LX1030 spec sheet lists no pitch count display. Put differently, the LX1030 documents give a program no pitch count digits to rely on. For a buyer, that means naming the pitch count need before a model is chosen, and raising it with our team at the quote stage.

What should a Virginia buyer take from this record?

Choose from the documents, not the ranking: the record shows what Virginia orders most, and each model's own spec sheet shows whether it fits your gym or field.

Our Virginia sales and shipping record, 463 records deep, points to a short list: two gym models and one field model carry the most orders. A ranking only says what others bought. It cannot tell you whether your score table needs team-foul digits under the NFHS per-quarter rule, or whether your league tracks pitch counts the way Little League breaks them down by league age. This implies the right scoreboard is the one whose spec sheet matches your rules, not the one at the top of a list.

The detail I would check first is the variant. A base model and its ETN version carry separate electrical lines on separate spec sheets. Write down the sport, the model, the variant and the numbers your officials need, then bring that list to our team.
