This is just a teardown. Nobody sells the entire display assembly with shell, and the steps to go over replacing the actual display panel are completely absent.
Although correct this doesn't help and should probably be taken down. As mentioned by others you can't buy the entire screen section, you can only buy the LCD part. Replacing the LCD requires removing the glass and having to glue it back on which is probably beyond most people's capability. This article is therefore misleading.
