Cost of replacing Flipscreen LCD?

Got a severe “bump” in the back of my lcd flip screen after a large rock fell on it. Screen is - incredibly - still working normally, but I’ll probably want to replace it anyway, unless the cost is very high. Anyone here tried to replace their flip-lcd screen?
 
I've replaced mine for $10 with a ebay screen from China. That was for a old point and shoot camera. I've also noted that prices were much higher for modern DSLR's. As long as you have proper tools, JIS screwdrivers, not phillips, its just a simple job but requires cleanliness and patience.

I see a 5D MK IV new replacement from China for $189 which indicates that parts from Canon USA are going to cost much more.
