Display glasses are the term I hear most frequently; as evidence you're the only one using that term but display glasses has already been used by others in this thread.

Displays in a helmet aren't "display glasses" because they're not glasses.
Display glasses are a subset of HMD's, a more specific term. The "display" part of it implies that they're monitor replacements -- both in their interface (DisplayPort alt-mode) and an FOV suitable for monitor replacement.
