So turn this on one day and the it has what looks like a smashed screen type malfunction, though it had never been smashed or dropped. Plugging a monitor into the VGA or HDMI gives a good picture so I ordered a new screen, swap it over and it looks to have the same defect. Thinking maybe it was dropped by the post office, I get another. All look very similar.

Did a brand new win 10 clean install as well.

I just can't imagine getting 2 damaged screens, (both were well packaged).
 
Yep, looks like a damaged screen. Did you get just the lcd panel or the full top of the display including new connections to the motherboard. Do the replacement screens look the exact same way for all of them?
