For air travel, I really like my Xreal Air glasses now that I have a newer iPhone 16pro. Just plug in the USB-C cable, and you have a virtual 60" screen in front of you which works perfectly for Netflix, etc. And they cost less than 10% of the cost of an AVP, and are not limited to 2-3 hours of battery life (they get power from the phone).

Note that if you have an older (lightning) iPhone, don't bother with these. They require a pair of dongles. Not only does that make things really awkward, but one of the dongles ends up apparently blocking HDCP, and prevents you from using anything but ... your own... downloaded content.

Does such a thing exist that works for coding? Don't need the AR. My posture/back could use this for when I'm not working at my desk.

I work lying down using my Meta Quest 3 sometimes when my back gets sore. I love it.

I don't know your situation so grain of salt, but the best thing I ever did for my back pain was to start deadlifting.

As someone recovering from back pain from a car accident, back pain (or tightness) often just means there's a weakness somewhere, probably at or anywhere below that location (could be tight hips, even ankles).

It's finding that weakness that can sometimes be the hard part, but deadlifts use the whole damn back so they're great to cover that area.

That being said, the body loves to try and compensate, so I didn't find proper relief with home workouts (and often just aggravated things), I needed all the gym machines to properly isolate muscles so my body wouldn't try and cheat. Trying random machines is also a great way to identify weaknesses.
