How/where could I track down a replacement LCD screen for a fireplace remote? (pictured) (hexbear.net)

My rental unit has a gas fireplace that's controlled by remote. The remote fell about 3 feet and the LCD shattered. The remote is still functional, the screen is just cracked and bleeding. Replacements cost $100 and I'm on the hook for it if my landlord finds out. Haven't been able to find any cheaper compatible remotes either.

Any thoughts about how I might be able to track down a replacement LCD? Is it even worth it? The LCD seems pretty specialized.

also i cant guarantee it, but some LCDs will come with a sticker behind the display to indicate what exact model number it is, and sometimes you can find a replacement oem screen online somewhere. it's not a guarantee that a signifier will be on it, but can sometimes happen.
