agree with you Space Spank but this can be verified by connecting the laptop to an external monitor or a TV to see if the problem persists on another monitor . It also be as simple as re-installing a driver.

Except, I wouldn't go for a laptop unless I really needed one for practicality's sake. You get far more computer for your money with a desktop. Also, the components involved are more easily replaced as separate items. I could replace the monitor for my desktop for sixty quid, for instance - if I were to insist on a good one. Otherwise, I could pick one up for a tenner.

The PC/screen has not been damaged in any way. Since then, while they have retained the basic shapes with which they began, they have grown and thickened, and kind of look like Etch-a-Sketch markings. What in the heck is this? Have I got computer cooties? What do I do? This is easy (and I have extensive knowledge in this area). Your computer screen is fucked up. (I'm here M-F....)

I knew I could count on you for an accurate diagnosis.

LCD screens if cracked will have degradation of the pixels. Also, if moisture gets into the screen, it can cause oxidation on the really fine control wires built in and cause pixels to go black. Start shopping for a new monitor as that one is going out by millimeters. Or, if still under a service plan, make the call to get it repaired.
