That looks like hardware. Reseat the cable or replace the screen.
I assume an external monitor is OK. If that has the same issues, replacing the motherboard might help.

How would I go about replacing the monitor? I'm on a road trip, so I have not tried an external monitor.
On travel this can be so expensive that I've rarely resorted to repair. On a business trip I'll work with the home office to get a working laptop. Depending on where I was in the world they would ship another or authorize buying one on the road.
