Yeah, in accordance with the documentation, the displayable float values range from -10.0 to 10.0.

If you use an integer, you can display a lot more though.

Not directly, sadly. You’d have to multiply it by 10^n where n is the number of decimal places you want, and then convert it to an integer. But, of course, you’d lose the decimal point.
Or, you could convert it so that it always stays within the ±10 bounds and use an additional display to show the tens-exponent. That would be similar to a scientific number display, i.e. 7.315e1 for 73.15.
Sadly the ±10 V range is something baked into Factory IO that they intend to fix with a future release.
