I imagine the GPU in your 2K iMac won’t support a higher resolution display. Best bet would be to find OEM parts.

Rotate the broken display to face the wall. Setting to turn it off (do not remove it from the iMac)
Use an external display. A 2k 27" 60Hz display might cost you about 200$~250$, sometime cheaper if you can find a second hand display.

or ditch the iMac after you can find some good deal on an iMac 2017 (400~500$)
