There are two problems here.
First: doing a "sudo echo $DISPLAY" does not echo the DISPLAY that
sudo is using. The shell will replace the $DISPLAY before starting

working.
When you're sshed in, your DISPLAY is usually localhost:10.0
That's because SSH does some funny under-the-hood port-forwarding
magic to securely tunnel the X ports to local ports on your machine.
