Sorry for off topic but you couldn't have chosen a better profile pic to go with this issue lol.
Check with your local mobile phone stores and see what prices they have. I was quoted 9k-11k for replacing Vivo V15 Pro's AMOLED screen, whereas the official service center quoted 8k. Obviously I got it replaced by the official one since the non AMOLED TFT screen was anyway being quoted at 3.5k to 5k depending on who one asked.

Yea that's definitely not AMOLED. Seems to be the cheap LCD TFT panel which the local shops were talking about. Will probably work, but it's a much lower quality screen.

Isn't there any certified Google after sales support to look into issues like these? Atleast they could look into it and suggest reasons for the same.

By chance did you ever slept on it? Or accidentally pressed the screen hardly without realizing it? I've known a few people with the same problem. And they dozed off while playing with their phones.
Or maybe the screen is ...well obviously... dying. :|

I bought a replacement screen for my Moto X Style from Maxbhi. I was disappointed - the quality was really bad. If I was not satisfied with a LCD screen I doubt you will get a decent AMOLED screen from them.

Oh this is probably it.

In India? Probably not. Plus I bought it second hand a year ago, so no receipts too.

B2X is Google's authorized service partner in India.
This is their Pixel 3A spare parts price list :-

The display price seems quite reasonable.
I know someone who replaced their broken 4A screen through B2X for around 5.8k all included.
