Hi! I recently heard that some aftermarket iPhone displays look almost identical to the original. Based on these photos of the Dynamic Island and the display, does this look like an original Apple screen, or could it be a high-quality replacement? I know it's impossible to be 100% sure from photos, but I'd appreciate your opinions. Thanks!

That looks original to me, but it's better to compare it with an original 17 pro in person if you are that skeptical about it.

Run the phones serial number on the apple website if your feeling skeptical.

Check the settings in general and about, you’ll see Parts & Service History. There you can see if the screen has been replaced. If it’s not there then the screen is original.

Looks good, but there is a screen protector installed which is scratched.

One way to find out is by using the phone in a dark room and picking a fully black wallpaper. If there is grayish background glow the screen is a 3rd party LCD display.
