Would anyone know what the problem may be?

I have a Macbook Pro retina Early 2015 and it boots just fine when connected to an external display. The problem is when I boot without an external display I cannot see what I am doing. The Apple Logo can barely be seen and I can find the bar to type in my password but have to hold the screen and a sharp angle in order to see any of this. I removed the rear panel and there are no visual burns on any components anywhere. I specifically looked in the display connection area and nothing. I have attached the pics of the screen where you can barely see the Apple Logo then after boot the Time and then the lower taskbar with all the icons present.

Shutdown and restart while holding down Command + v keys. This will boot your Mac in "verbose" mode. In "verbose" mode, you should see a black screen with logging messages scrolling by. If "verbose" is white-washed as well, then your display needs to be replaced.

Yes I reset the PRAM and now i know that it is the display. Verbose mode was washed out also. Thank you all of you. I guess I'll just keep it connected to my external display for now until I save up some money.
