I recently received an Acer Predator XB271HU Abmiprz (TN panel) with a cracked LCD panel. Got damaged in transit, but I got a full refund and the seller didn't want it back.

Can I replace the panel with the one from the bmiprz variant of the same model? I think they are identical save for the LCD itself. I found a replacement site and would do it myself, just want to make sure this is viable first.
