What is the difference between these messages?

I'm looking at iphones on ebay and see different repaired phones with different messages for the display having been replaced. Is the second one the best to buy?

First example: "Unknown Part"

The display for this iPhone is not recognized. An apple authorized service provider can repair or replace the display to restore full functionality. Apple has updated the device information for this iPhone.

Second example: "Display"

A new display was detected. Restart to configure your new display for this iPhone.

Third example: "Unknown Part"

Unable to determine if your iphone display is a genuine apple part. This could be because the part is a non-genuine or not functioning as expected.

@gabe95165 all of these "Unknown Part" usually still function fine. The message pops up when your iPhone "discovers" that those parts are not genuine Apple parts. Check on here for more information from Apple as well as on here for a more comprehensive list.

Looks like there really isn't any difference other than the "Display message" being specific whereas the "Unknow Part" could be any of the other parts (Battery; Rear Cameras; Rear System; TrueDepth Camera)

Anyone of those phones could be a good deal, if you do not mind for those messages to pop up. Now, if that does not suit you, you would need to get an original Apple display (or other non-genuine replaced parts). Of course, that makes the deal a little less desirable since there could be a significant cost increase.
