I've changed the display on my Dell XPS 15 laptop and it was very easy, since there's no glue. Open the case (~8 screws), pull out keyboard, unscrew the entire "monitor" part (1 screw), pull out the cable between monitor and motherboard, pry open the "monitor" with a guitar plectrum or a screwdriver to get to the glass, push in the new glass, perform above steps in reverse.
I've never done that before and with YouTube's help to find out which screws to leave in and which to take out the whole operation took about 30 min. No glue!
