The display assembly itself is $450, so 680 EUR sounds about right to have it professionally repaired.

Also, it makes sense that it would cost that much. Most of the product is that luxury display, with an M1 hanging off it. You could probably open up the case, rip out the logic board, and pay less in repairs.

AppleCare+ is pretty fairly priced and generous with their services, and would have made your display repair substantially cheaper, most likely free unless you tell them straight up that you dropped your MacBook or punched the screen.

Apple isn't sourcing their repair parts from iFixit (which is where I assume you got that price from)
