We bought a replacement screen for one of our corporate Dell laptops whose lid was closed on a pen.
The replacement arrived quickly, and was packed well. Time and effort is obviously dependent on your laptop model, but for us it was a 10 minute job, with lots of youtube videos available describing the process.
The company also has discount incentives to individuals who create and post a video of their installation. Great idea to save money, and makes for a lot of well documented installation videos.
My new go to place for screens.
