it's very fixable, backlight is working, lcd panel isn't damaged at a first glance, if you haven't punched or kicked it, it would most likely only need is the main pcb.
for U2414H, it should be part number for 5E29D01041. It goes for anywhere from 40-60 bucks depending on if it's a new old stock or harvested from drop kicked unit.
You would probably be charged another 50ish in labor.

Unless you can do the swap yourself, you would end paying over 100 bucks to fix it. Might be worth considering throwing another hundred in the pot and replacing it with something like AOC 27G2U, same 1080p res, very decent ips screen slightly bigger, 144hz and officially gsync compatible/freesync compatible utterly crap speakers(but who would use those) and can be bought well under 200 when on sale.

Btw can I use a different monitor mainboard. I got a shattered screen dell 21 inch but only the screen shattered and it still shows on screen. So I was wondering if I could replace my old monitor mobo with the u2414H?
