So I've recently had some terrible luck. I purchased a Predator
Z321QU in early January,

Until last week when my little brother threw a rubber ball at me to get my attention, completely missed me and hit my new monitor. Aaaaaaand craked the panel. Didn't even have the monitor for two months.
Fast forward to talking to customer service and I was told that they can't service my monitor or sell me on OEM panel replacement. As you can imagine I was very frustrated as I just bought it and they offered very little help for one of their flagship monitors. So much for "premium support." They did give me two different retailors and told me they could sell me the panel, and the panel number (KL.31506.006) but after I contacted them neither of them even carried it.
I looked up the panel number on google and wasn't able to find much, but I did find these two vendors:

Plus with prices that high I may as well just buy a monitor in that price range. So this brings me to my question: Does anyone know a better place where I can order the panel, or somewhere where I can have it repaired. Replacing it myself doesn't scare me, as I repaired iPhone screens all throughout high school and college. I just need to find a panel.
If anyone can help at all or can just offer any advice I would really appreciate it! I want to do anything possible to not just lose out on this monitor I saved up for.
Thank you!
