A warning sign ("this phone has a third party screen") could be useful, so long as it's just that, a notification in the settings somewhere. Then it's up to me to decide whether I care or not. All it does is give me more information, the judgment on it is my own.

I'd prefer it if it did that for all parts. New third party screen? Notice. New first party screen? Also give notice. Then i know what was repaired or replaced. Even better if it should list when it was replaced, and perhaps the specs of the replacement part.

I like this. Like a digital equivalent to how a car's VIN is stamped on a bunch of different parts all over the car so a different buyer can tell if it's been wrecked and repaired.
