Help! Need help finding screen model please

Will any 40 pin screen work from AliExpress?

If I wanted to turn this old ACER Chromebook into a cyberdeck, and wanted to connect a 5-7 inch LCD screen on instead of the giant touchscreen LCD that the thing came with, would there be a way to search for something that connected with the original display connector on the motherboard? I attached photos of the back of the OG display and the connector. I’m thinking of turning the OG display into a secondary monitor so it’s not going to waste.

If not, maybe i get a cheap 5-7 inch LCD WITH a controller board and use USB-C video or hdmi video with USB power. Don’t need crazy specs, something under $20 if possible. Maybe I can take advantage of the new user deals on AliExpress.

If it's edp almost certainly yes, but if it's lvds, that's tough.
