Sure we should stop the thread if there is no display. Rather the thread 
should only exist when the display exists.

Ultimately, the only use of the thread is to handle the timing of the picture 
FIFO. It's completely pointless if there is no display, and keeping it around 
only adds extra intricacies with sycnhronizing state between threads.
