six months or so into an RPi attached to an HDTV screen for a hacker 
with sight problems, the RPi didn't work but as soon as I upgraded to an 
RPi2 everything came to life. That allowed me to put together a desktop 
system running Debian (not Raspbian) at 3840 x 2160, that can SSH into 
arbitrary Linux/unix systems and put Lazarus etc. onto the full sized 
screen (i.e. not limited by the display resolution or size on the server 
system) with reliable cut-and-paste. I'm also able to run some Windows 
versions in Qemu hosted on x86-64, and get a desktop as a window on the 
big display at 2560 x 1600 which is rather better than any physical 
displays available here, although in this case there's no direct 
cut-and-paste.

So the end result was a damn big screen, able to run Lazarus etc. over 
SSH on any attached Linux/unix system, and able to run Windows in a
