{HaSta} "visual display (on monitor)" seems to be the image displayed on a monitor. {much} is a "presentation" (presumably the act or event), while {jIH} "monitor (device), viewing screen" is the physical device the {HaSta} is displayed on.
{jIH'a'} "main viewscreen, main viewer" is that large viewscreen on the bridge of many space vessels in Trek:
motlh ray' luSamlaHmeH De' Qatlh cha' tlhIngan Duj jIH'a'
The main viewer on a Klingon ship is usually overlaid with a
complex target acquisition grid. SP3
I would call the little monitors (devices) on mobile phones, iPods, etc. *{jIHHom}.
There's also a verb {jIH} "monitor":
jolbogh ghom wa'DIch DamuvlaHmeH De' DaneHchugh, Se'vam yIjIHtaH
Stay tuned for information on how you can be among the first to
beam aboard! STX
and a verb {cha'} "show, display (picture)"
HaSta yIcha'
Show the visual display! TKD
wIy yIcha'
[untranslated] KCD
mIvwIjDaq poghlIj vIcha'
I display your glove on my helmet. KGT
tlhIngan Dujmey law'qu' SommeyDaq batlh cha'lu'
[It] has been emblazoned upon the hulls of countless Klingon starships. SP1
motlh ray' luSamlaHmeH De' Qatlh cha' tlhIngan Duj jIH'a'
The main viewer on a Klingon ship is usually overlaid with a complex target
acquisition grid. SP3
The verb {much} means "present, perform (music)":
KGT 71: The word for "perform music", whether instrumental or vocal and instrumental together, is {much}, which in other contexts means "present", as in "present a gift to someone".
KGT 70: Although Klingon music is performed rather infrequently outside of the Empire, music plays a vital role in Klingon culture, particularly vocal music.
KGT 72: Traditional Klingon music is generally performed only by those who have had a great deal of training. The study of this type of music, whether composition or performance, is considered a discipline not unlike a martial art.
SuStel:
| I think the only context it's ever been used in is to refer to showing
| a normal view outside a ship. It's what you get when the captain shouts,
| "Visual!"
As SuStel indicates, {HaSta} seems to be a normal "realistic" view as opposed to {wIy} "tactical display (on monitor)" -- i.e. those various symbols representing ships (both friendly and enemy), torpedoes, mines, etc. usually overlaying a red triangular Klingon targeting grid.
