Just did this on my Sprint TP2. Found the digitizer on eBay (the Sprint logo one) for less than $20. Also bought the stock HTC housing ($28 on eBay). When trying to replace the digitzer, sure enough I broke the LCD. I was being careful, but it's just too fragile.
So I bought the cheapest LCD on ebay (around $27), and it worked fine. There are some actual HTC factory LCDs for $47 on ebay, but I already dumped more money on this project than I wanted to.
Got the new LCD in, just had to transfer the black double sided sticky that holds it to the digitizer. Took it off with a razor blade to transfer. The only downside to the super cheap LCD is the contrast isn't quite as crisp as the factory one was, but the resolution is spot on. Hoping the contrast improves with break in time. Heat over time fixed the last LCD I had that issue with on another device.
