Error's back due to a false display of data (4-3)
I believe the answer is:
read-out
'display of data' is the definition.
'error's back due to a false' is the wordplay.
'back' says to take the final letters.
'false' indicates anagramming the letters.
The last letter of 'error' is 'r'.
'due'+'to'+'a'='duetoa'
'duetoa' with letters rearranged gives 'eadout'.
'r'+'eadout'='READ-OUT'
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
