Glossy screen shouldn't cost anymore to replace. If anything they should be cheaper. Because the are now more popular.
If you have extra software like word, etc etc it would make the laptop more valuable to you.

You could always try and replace it yourself. It will work out cheaper and make it worth your while keeping the laptop.

If you didnt want to spend the money on buying and getting someone to replace it you could attach it to an external monitor. It should work fine like that without the portability obviously.
