I recently got my hands on a used iPhone from a friend. I was told it was an XR but it was actually an XS Max (not sure how you mix those up). Anyway, it had some water damage but still worked, and I was taking off the screen to allow the insides to fully dry. During this, a green pixel line popped up in the middle of the display, of course. I'm not sure if this was due to the heat applied to loosen the adhesive or just the suction force of trying to pry the screen up. Anyway, if it doesn't go away when I put it back together once it's dry, I'm going to need a new screen.

I refuse to buy an LCD screen, so I won't even consider those an option. I noticed eBay has a few options for OLED screens, with varying pricing. They all seem to have decent return/warranty options. Is there anything to look for so I know I'm not buying a "junk" OLED replacement? I feel like the best option would be to buy an OEM screen but I can't seem to find one anywhere.

Thanks for the help, sorry if this is against the rules...I am just trying to get some information before I dump $100-$170 on a new screen! I tried looking at the vendorlist thing but not sure how that can be used to find specific screen sales or anything...
