Don't do that, sshd will set $DISPLAY to an appropriate value. If
$DISPLAY is not set, check that X forwarding is enabled on the server.
(For OpenSSH, check X11Forwarding and XAuthLocation, details will vary
for other SSH servers.)
If you need to mess with SSH's $DISPLAY then you're doing something
wrong.
(Actually, that isn't always true, but if you know that then you know
enough to figure out what you need to do and when.)

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
