Is this LCD compromised?

Suddenly, I got these "bird feet" on the top left display of a Nikon F4 LCD. Changed the batteries, but it still is the same.

The LCD is all right otherwise, and so is the camera. Any ideas ? Thx!

 
Quite suddenly, yes. Not sure, but isn't this part of the LCD housed in the prism? I know the LCD is part housed in the prism, part housed in the camera, but no idea which is where located.
 
I've got a couple of those on my F4, too. Same display. LCD still works fine, but I suspect it is the beginning of the end of the display. How long it will take...who knows?
 
Good thing I'm not a religious man, because if I was, pretty sure that's the sign of the coming apocalypse.
 
Woah, interesting - all them being angular. Crystallization, meaning liquid crystals turning to solid?

No idea. It may have to do with a possible short in the circuits somewhere, as I have experienced some issues with the MB20 (wobbly). If it's that, I'm guessing this is not reversible.
 
It is a very unusual occurence. All the ones I have seen which have had issues have that lcd bleed look. Nothing like this.
 
It's a weird pattern, did you take a close look at the windows on the prism and the body? Maybe it's something on them and not the LCD itself.
 
Is there a common LCD screen that'll work as a replacement for what that cameras wearing now?

With so very many electronic displays out there, I should think a non Nikon replacement would be simple to source, no?

I really have no idea if that is even possible. Probably a repair shop would know. Thank you for your input, appreciated!
