For what it's worth to you all, I bought a LCD replacement from user 'big_is' on ebay (as OP did) and got a well packaged and protected screen. After about a week it had a couple of black dots that appeared to be dead (not stuck) pixels. The dots grew to splotches. I contacted the guy and he sent me a new one right away and only asked for like $3 shipping. Got the new screen about 2 weeks later. I just really wish Dell hadn't put the entire phone together with glue and tape. WTF, Dell?
I don't like when people advertise on XDA, so I want to make it clear that I'm simply pointing out that this guy on ebay is a good seller, responsive, and ships a good product for a good price. I'm always leery of ebay sellers, so I hope this helps someone else that might be hesitant.
Also, I have a touchscreen/gorilla glass that I took off of the broken LCD. It works and the ribbon looks good, but I don't know how well it will attach to an LCD. If anyone is interested in it, please PM me.
EDIT: I'm seeing a lot of discussion about Gorilla Glass on here. While I don't dispute that the Streak has GG, I can say with absolute certainty that the GG on the Streak is nowhere near as tough or scratch resistant as what is on my Captivate. The streak is a great phone nonetheless.
