What does a broken LCD look like?

A broken LCD looks like this:
 
Screen not visible due to cracked LCD panel

 
 

Unless it looks like this:
 
Black splotches on MacBook Air screen
 
 

Or vertical lines like this:
 

MacBook Pro with vertical lines on left side

 
 

Sometimes even this:
 

Black splotches at top of screen due to crack

 

That one kind of looks like gathering storm clouds against the El Capitan background.
 
 

And this one looks like a bullet hole on the MacBook screen. Sometimes that’s what a cracked LCD looks like too.
 
Point of impact on Retina MacBook Pro screen

 
 

And, what does a repaired MacBook LCD look like?
 

MacBook Pro with new display

 

Exactly like that.
