That would be incredibly expensive. 5G modems are not cheap, and I can't imagine there's enough consumer demand that would justify the additional upfront cost and ongoing recurring charges. They'd be in clearance bins within a year or two.

I'm sure some niche displays already have embedded 5G WWAN modems, but they'd be commerical displays for digital signage, videoconferencing, etc. Those won't be cheap, or consumer standard issue anytime soon.
