5k retina 27 inch 2017 screen replacement
Trying to determine exactly which screen to purchase to replace a cracked screen on iMac Retina 5K, 27 inch, 2017.
Long story short, I had a third party (ie, not Apple authorized... I know I know lol. Chastise me later, right now I just need to get my machine back up and operating properly so that I can go back to earning a living! ;) ) upgrade the hard drive to an ssd drive. They cracked the screen upon removing it. They replaced it at their own expense, but it was not completely compatible with the computer. It worked, but made the computer run extremely slowly. In my own research I found that the monitor they replaced it with was apparently for 2014-2015 models so I'm guessing that was the problem.
So before replacing the screen again, I'm trying to be diligent in making sure we get the correct one. I spoke with Apple support for over 30 minutes and Jennifer was super super helpful, but simply could not provide the exact information.
It appears that only Apple authorized repair shops have this "information", but ironically they don't want to do the repair since a third party already worked on the machine.
Bottom line, anyone have experience replacing the screen for this model and can you provide exactly which screen you used?
As of now, this is the best fit we could find online: NUOLAISUN Screen Replacement LM270QQ1 (SD)(C1) for iMac 27" A1419 Mid 2017 EMC 3070 Retina 5K LCD Display Screen Panel + Front Glass Cover with Adhesive
Thank you very much for any assistance!
Gratefully,
