Is this something that is practical and commonly done, or only theoretically possible?

I have an older model Sony 4K TV (pre-Android) that is so slow now after its recent firmware updates that it responds to button presses only after 2-3 seconds. It's unbearable!

I'd love to be able to just pop in a new driver board and refresh the TV, but I've never heard of anyone doing this kind of thing before.

Get the part number of the panel (some reviews will mention this, if you don't want to open the case), and search for it on Panelook and Aliexpress.

Right now I'm working on a project with some M315DJJ-K30 and MV238QUM-N20 panels, but parts are still in shipping so I don't have anything to show for it yet.
