Wird meistens klar angezeigt.

✕Common Mistakes
Wird meist klar angezeigt.
'Meist' is an adverb meaning 'most', but the correct frequency adverb here is 'meistens'.
Ist meistens klar angezeigt.
Using 'ist' creates a static description (present tense) instead of the passive action implied by 'wird'.
Wird meistens klaren angezeigt.
'Klaren' would be the accusative form of the adjective, which is incorrect because 'klar' functions adverbially.
↔Alternatives

Is usually displayed distinctly.
Ist in der Regel klar ersichtlich.
Is generally clearly visible.
Wird meistens übersichtlich dargestellt.
Is usually presented in an overview-friendly way.
Cultural Tip
German technical writing often prefers the passive voice for neutral, objective descriptions. While 'klar' is correct, native speakers frequently use 'deutlich' or 'übersichtlich' for a slightly more formal tone. Also, avoid mixing 'ist' with a participle in this context, as it would change the meaning to a static state rather than an ongoing action.
