I found one listing online thats almost identical, but it was at a crazy price at 80 Euro. Spec: 120mm (4.7in)

That looks like Adafruit part 1680, I see the cost at 27.50 USD

Add a few dollars and you get resistive touch

They have a big selection of screens, and are sold by many other vendors in the EU, check their website for your specific location.

Edit: it's probably not that part, check pin outs

    Why not add a link if you've got the page open anyway?

    OP gave us no info, and with electronics, specs are required - you can't just "cowboy that shit up"

    Thank you, its not the exact one for sure. Mine is from an analogue video display. Just wanted to see if there are any cheap ones i can find that could work

    One thing I learned recently is that the protocols for controlling display panels is a bit unstandardized, so if you are replacing the panel in an exisiting device the electronic connections need to speak the same electric language even if the pin arrangement is the same between two different panels.

    Yeah i was really hoping i could find one that will just work out the box, but im starting to think it would be better to buy the whole thing new rather than trying to fix it and potentially waste more money into it.

    Part of my job is designing products that use this type of display.

    Every single one is different, and they only produce them for a few years at a time. Even if the layout and pin count of the fpc is identical, it's likely that the pinout won't be.

    Unless you have a very good reason to believe that you found the exact same part, I wouldn't even try plugging a different one in
