LCD Screen Broken? Weird Colors - Examples Inside Post

Out of the blue my old iPad Air 2 suddenly shifted colors. It was not dropped, bent or similar when it happened.

It looks like it’s struggling with gradient colors. Cartoon-like imagery looks fine, while photos are degraded.

It was dropped a year ago, so my first thought was a loose LCD connector.

I checked accessibility options to see if anything was turned on causing this. I also reset all settings.

I’ve carefully opened the iPad and unplugged and replugged the LCD connectors (3), but that didn’t fix it.

The picture below shows an example of the screen output.

Maybe I need a new LCD screen? They look to run around $100, so I don’t want to purchase before getting some feedback.

Thanks!
