    The black blob on the left looks like it might be physical damage. Did anyone step on the laptop or anything heavy placed on the lid?

    Yeah your screen has been damaged and will need to be replaced.

    What make and model is the laptop?

    Screens go for around €50 upwards, so if your anyway competent and feel like doing it yourself then you could save a fair amount of money.

    €120? €70 for labour, it takes at max 20 minutes to change out a screen, just seems quite high a quote.

    Try http://accupart.co.uk/ for a screen.

    You'll usually find a video on YouTube to see how it's replaced.
    A 20 minute job and all you need is a small screwdriver and a flat surface.

    Yeah I've used them a few times and have had no problems with them.
