Most of us have one or more of the following:

• TV(s)
• Home PC(s)
• Laptop
• Work PC
• Mobile phone

It won't cost you any extra to use the devices that you already own. If you want to use someone else's device then you may need to pay for it, but I see the benefit being that we get better use out of our existing devices.

You don't necessarily have to pay extra for a display though. In a hotel, I'd expect that you'd be able to use the TV in your hotel room as the display. In a coffee shop, you could use a head-mounted display, like the SV-6.

Software like VNC works quite well for remote displays, and of course X can already do that, but this encompasses so much more.
