I broke my 2016 15" Macbook Pro display while attempting to replace the Macbook logo bezel (I know, stupid of me...).

Anyone have suggestions on what the best option is going forward? Looks like ~$700 to pay Apple to fix, less to DIY but that's a risk in itself, Apple trade-in would give me $310 with damage or $890 without damage (so basically the difference is price to repair).

The cheapest option is of course to not repair at all and just continue using the laptop with an external monitor.

Definitely want to stick with Apple. I only use this computer for DAW / home music studio.

Anyone been in a similar situation and what did you do?
