My wife moved a table and my 2019 27” iMac took a header smashing the screen. I need the thing for work. Anyone have the part number of the replacement screen and know where I can get it?
 
You will need to get it straight from Apple. I had one replaced on a 27” (2017) a year ago and it was $1200 Canadian or about $900usd at that time.

Thank you. Was hoping that wasn't the answer since Apple is closed in the US.

They are supposed to be opening soon. But I get the impression they are doing what they can - have you tried calling them? Perhaps they can send a replacement iMac for a swap?
Also, if you purchased by credit card you may have a warranty for this.

I called them today. They suggested a third party repair shop, otherwise no options in Minneapolis.
 
You can purchase an aftermarket "grade A" screen from several places for around $400-450. You need a LM270QQ1-SD-E1. You can also use LM270QQ1-SD-C1, LM270QQ1-SD-B1 or LM270QQ1-SD-A2. The C1,B1, & A2 won't be as bright as the E1 however. I can tell the difference between an A2 (the first generation) and E1 but I can't really tell the difference between the B1/C1 and the E1 when it comes to brightness. I also can't tell the difference between "Genuine Apple" LCD panels and the aftermarket ones.

Thank you! Fit and connectors are the same on the C panel as the E panel? E panel is impossible to find, but I can find the C panel.

Thanks again.
 
AppleCare+ provides for accidental breakage on limited occasions, and if this does not work consider your home contents insurance perhaps.
