They just do that - it'll probably be fine forever...

IIRC, the 70 and 50 are the same except for the motherboard, (or even just
the CPU) so you should be able to just crack the case, lift the top half
with the screen, and swap between machines. If you're planning on keeping
the old machine, you'll still have the original to swap back if the older
screen fails.
MTBF on the screens is hundreds of thousands of hours...which doesn't mean
*your* screen will last that long, but it's a good bet.
