Hey y'all,

I’m dealing with a delumination problem and am going to have to replace the entire screen since just the digitizer didn’t work. I took the unit out and am concerned that the replacements I am finding do not show that they have 3 ribbon connections on the Amazon/ebay postings. It’s possible these are hidden in the posting but is there a particular screen I need that comes with all 3 ribbon connections? Photos below and this was the unit I had purchased but am waiting to arrive:

Any follow up for this? My 2021 8.4 screen has delamination and I'd like to repair it. Did the linked-to Amazon replacement work well?

This one on eBay claims to be an updated OE LG screen that supposedly will not fail, but it's nearly three times the cost of the Amazon part. I'm not sure what's different?

Lastly, many of these are listed as 2017-2020. Is 2021 a different part number? UConnect 5 was rolled out in 2022 on the 5th Gens, so it would seem 2021 would share the same UConnect 4 screen as earlier years, but that's just a guess.

Thanks.
