Dew exposure, now having screen problems

[video|6190]
I have a 2020 macbook air M1 A2337. I use it for running a planetarium program that I use when star gazing. A couple weeks back I was out, and it was very heavy dew conditions. Everything seemed to be working fine, (stupid, I know), so I just continued. when I was finished, I wiped off the screen and keyboard and closed it up. The next day I noticed some screen artifacts, horizontal lines that cycled every few seconds. There is also ghosting where the screen doesn't refresh properly until it cycled. So I took the back off, and let it air dry overnight, with a gently hairdryer. Didn't fix it, so I repeated, unplugging the screen connectors, and still no improvement. last ditch I placed it in a temperature controled oven at work at 95F over the weekend, still no improvement. I should say the display output, and everything else works fine when connected to an external monitor.
My question is to al the fine folks here is what is the chance that it is the screen itself, as opposed to the something on the logic board? I see there are screens available on eBay for ~$200, and I can handle the replacement, but without more advanced electronic experience, I am just throwing parts at it. Also, anyone ever used one of these screens? They claim to be new, Apple replacement parts, but that price seems pretty cheap, and the reviews mostly feel like they are faked- any thoughts appreciated. I have bought a few batteries over the years, and they are definitely not Apple OEM quality.
BTW, long time user fo the site, been fixing my own stuff as long as I can remember, thanks for all the help over the years.

Edit- I added a recording of the screen showing the ghosting the thappens when scrolling text or opening windows. the the horizontal lines are hard to see, but the slow refresh is obvious. Dont know if this helps or not., thanks
