You can do it with the right equipment if you want to, but it will take more time then it would if you had just replaced it as a single part. Glass only is meant for shops who know how to do it, rather then consumer use. The main problem with consumers doing this is they probably can't do it and there's a increased chance of panel damage which ends with a useless piece of glass and a new assembly anyway.

You can do it with the right equipment if you want to, but it will take more time for an individual display? Nobody is going to try this as a DIYer unless you have some guts and can risk it. The only people crazy enough to do "glass-only" is a repair shop due to scale justifying the high risk. For an individual, the risk makes no sense.

Anyway, if you want to do it you need a glass separator machine (this will cost you a few thousand bucks) and a bottle of LOCA UV curing glue to re-bond the screen to the new glass, and a UV light to cure it. If you get this wrong, the LOCA glue will penetrate and ruin the display.

This is truly such a job that the average person WILL MESS UP and ruin the attempt. I could probably do it without damage (or at least, to be able to recover a good display from bad glass), but my skillset isn't average. It's non-zero, but if I can get a high-end 4K LG IPS LCD by taking a chance on a free display with broken glass I'll take the chance I will botch it.

So yes, it is possible. It just doesn't make sense for me or you to do it because we do not have the equipment and we will screw the job up.

Anyway, if you want to do it you need a glass separator machine (this will cost you a few thousand bucks), bright UV lights, and UV LOCA glue to re-bond it to the new glass. If you get this wrong, the LOCA glue will penetrate and ruin the display. So yes, it is possible. It just doesn't make sense for most people to gamble on a losing battle.
You can do it with the right equipment if you want to, but it will take more time then it would if you had just replaced it as a single part. Glass only is meant for shops who know how to do it. Not regular consumers. The main problem with consumers doing this is they will get this wrong, ruin the LCD and have to buy the whole unit anyway.

You can do it with the right equipment if you wanted to, but the time it will take to do and the risk will raise the cost significantly. "Glass Only" parts are intended for refurbishers and shops who know how to do it.

The other problem is the UV glue has to be applied right when rebonding the screen to the glass, otherwise this will make the cost go up since you have a high chance or ruining the LCD with LOCA glue. It's a lot worse on this then a iPhone too.

Using too much usually means rebuilding the LCD or the kiss of death for the screen.

So yes, it possible with the right tools and supplies but you need to know how to do it correctly otherwise you will botch it, and ruin the screen assembly. If you ruin it, you're replacing the assembly and you wasted money on the glass, all to mess up.

So yes, it possible with the right tools and supplies, but the requires tools and experience experience make it infesable to attempt, plus you risk damaging the LCD itself and if you do, you have wasted your time and have to replace the single part anyway. Oh, and in many cases with UV glue you ruin the backlight so you need to refurbish the LCD itself, which risks dust getting in the display
