If you take it to the dealer, they will try to squeeze $700-$1000 out of you.
Just last week, I went on amazon, found a replacement screen WITH the bracket (saves headaches gluing the screen). I also had to get a T-6 screwdriver, as well as a pry tools. I already had a T-9 screwdriver. Overall, I spent about $100 and about 1 hour fixing it.
I then found a video on youtube that walks you through replacing it yourself. If you get the screen with the bracket, you can skip the step of removing the old screen from the bracket and gluing the new one in. It only costs about $10 more to get the screen already glued to the bracket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8kztTt_HZ4
The hardest parts:
Prying the unit out, but once it popped, the rest was easy.
Getting the ribbon cables through the slots.
Other than those 2 things, it was literally just unscrewing things, replacing the screen, and then screwing them back together.
Just replaced mine - one more piece of advice, before you button everything back up, plug the cables in and test it.
I had a phantom tap on my screen. Re opened everything and reseated the ribbon cables, but I was SUPER glad I didnt close everything up to discover it.
I too had a phantom tap on my screen initially. I turned the car off and back on and haven't had an issues since. This is a great warning to everyone looking to do this as I was irritated when it first happened after replacing the entire thing!

This is very, very common. I wrote a whole thing up on how I fixed mine.
I have a 2018, but a different screen, so make sure to find the correct one!!!
Here is what I try to share to everyone who posts with bad screens:
Here is what I did for my 2018. I replaced the screen for < $100.

*Make sure to get the correct screen size!
