A new screen of that type runs about $450 for the hardware. Try www.lcds4less.com - a local shop can probably install it for an hour's labor, which will run less expensive than Dell's prices.
Still, $550 is more than half the cost of Dell's 20th-anniversary 5150, which with a 15" screen runs $999 - you may just want to sell the chassis as is and replace the notebook, since the repair alone is more than half the cost of a better system.
