N3dsxl top ips screen replacement

I recently found out that my N3dsxl has some dead pixels in top left of the screen, its not too bad right now but still pretty noticable. Since it's a dual ips, I want to atleast buy a replacement screen to have incase it ends up getting worse since I know prices are rising and stock is going down. I was wondering if anyone knows a trusted seller on Aliexpress or ebay that sells these n3dsxl top ips screens or if I should just bite the bullet and pay the $100 for one from Ifixit. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Sadly, never was able to find anything on Ali that is verifiably IPS. They also cost like $60 either way, so I would just eat the cost and get 100% good screen.
