I do not see a way to get the value of the DISPLAY environment variable 
specific to the emacsclient process. In some corner cases in may differ 
from emacs server display. For testing purposes the following may be used:

    DISPLAY= emacs --daemon

A workaround I have found so far is to specify display explicitly

    emacsclient --display "$DISPLAY" ...
