How do I replace the monitor?

Text:

I've got an Asus R500V that was recently mushed a bit, resulting in a small fracture in a corner of the screen, but the entire refresh rate of the monitor is jacked. It flashes erratically and freezes sometimes. Microcenter offers a repair service for $119, but I can get the monitor itself for $50-60 and DIY it. I've done a bit of repair before myself, but not a monitor, so I want to do my homework.

Unfortunately, the R500V was unique to Microcenter, packing a 2.3 i7, an Nvidia GT 630 and a standard 15.6" screen with a res. of 1366x768, so there is little-to-nothing about it on the internet. It's similar to the X53E in aesthetics, but more similar to the G75VX in design with the split between the trackpad and keyboard, with the power button on the far left.

Any know-how or advice would be awesome, thanks!
