Has anyone else ever noticed this before? Its sort of like a rectangular shape that looks like liquid all over it. Maybe the screen is cracked.
But when you turn it on you can see everything. You still notice this issue in the background but it doesn't completely obstruct the screen. Has anyone else seen this?

Since you asked, that pattern is sometimes refered to as "Moire" pattern.
It is caused by an interference in light that has opposing polarity.

Your case could be either LCD liquid leaking, or delamination of the polarizer for the LCD.
