The screen is to give you the GFCI trip time (older/defective GFCI will often still trip, but take too many milliseconds to do so). After 15 or so years, they may trip with the self-test button, but not with an external tester. That is why the home inspector will flag certain GFCI, even though they appear to 'work'.
The other reason the LCD is useful, is that it will read the voltage at the outlet. This only happened to me once, but a woman told me "Wait! Don't use that outlet! It kills everything you plug into it.". I checked, and the outlet had 244vac available. Someone had connected a different hot to each side of the outlet. I fixed it for her, and then checked all her other outlets, just to be safe. It was the only one; not sure if someone did it on purpose to run a window a/c, or if they were just insane.

Of course, then you would probably break out a multimeter and check the voltage from ground to Hot and ground to Neutral. If both read 120vac then you know where you are at.
It also shows if you have less than 30vac, for those times where you have the breaker off, but there is still a small amount of voltage at the outlet. This is usually older homes that still have some knob&tube hidden somewhere, and somebody has "stolen the Neutral" from another branch.
