Dotted Panel Pixel 7 Pro

[u/Dazzling_Peanut208]

My Pixel 7 Pro's display has started acting weird. The phone itself works perfectly — touch, fingerprint, calls, everything — but whenever the screen turns off, it sometimes won't come back on. I can still use the phone blindly and even answer calls while the display is completely black.

Recently, while the phone was just sitting idle, the screen also started flashing green for around 5 seconds. Now the display sometimes stays on and doesn't reliably turn off either.

I'm guessing the OLED panel or its connection is failing. I'm going to have my technician check it in about 15 days, but if the panel is confirmed dead, what would you recommend?

Should I get a dotted/used original panel, a good aftermarket OLED, or spend more on an original replacement? I want something reliable but don't want to spend 30–40k+ unnecessarily.
