Usually you can tell quality by the camera ring.
See iPhone 5,5s, and 5c (in order) have it. Whereas the copy 5s (on top) doesn't have it

LCD itself is impossible to fake. However, now people can refurbish damaged displays with fake or OEM parts, including the display bezel and other small parts. Those refurb screens can be inferior in quality, but you can get ones that are equal to originals.
True originals are not possible to get except those from Apple or taken from real phones.

Tc is correct , I usually try to find a phone with bad esn in excellent condition and buy that ! It cost more but original is best .
You actually can get original with certain suppliers but definitely have to pay more. Quality usually goes aftermarket, oem aftermarket, original changed glass then original.

It's just a piece of glass with a transparent spot for the front camera. Personally I never worry about fake phone parts ever in my life when it comes to smart phones excluding batteries of course.
I have access to OEM and copy iPhone parts. Its very rare that I can tell the difference between the two, except when it comes to glass. Things like cameras, flexes and other misc parts just aren't worth the money for OEM.
Making sure you buy from a reputable seller is much more important than worrying about OEM vs copy. You want a company that will take care of you if you get a bad part. A lot of these Chinese sellers won't even respond to an email about a bad part.
