I think the OP meant using the tablet like an actual monitor (e.g.
multidisplay off the OP's video card).
As far as I know that's not possible. The HDMI port on the tablet is
an output only. The tablet is essentially a laptop, and that port is
its auxiliary display port (use it to connect to your TV or some other
HDMI monitor).
No need to use hdmi.
Wifi will work.
It all depends on the X[server - Client] packages' configuration
and firewall rules, ... etc.
Hope the OP will use the SSL'ed version of X-[Server - Viewer] apps.
