I did something similar for my macbook with uxplay: https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay

I ran it in console directly rendering to framebuffer and it has hardware-accelerated video decoding. On Raspberry pi 3, hooked to lan and my macbook on wifi the lag is ok. It's about the same as ssh over slow cellular. I mainly run my terminals watching the logs/builds etc. on that display.

• audio-teleport

  1 1 10.0 Shell

  Send "what you hear" to another computer on the network

How about using socket activated service on the pi to receive data over a port? That's could automatically handle turning on/off the display whenever the service starts. It's a while ago and I don't use it any more but I did this, to send audio to my pi:
