pikefish23,
The screen itself won't be sealed to the bezel, but should fit neatly. If it doesn't, do what makes you happiest in terms of an exchange or a repair. 3 cm, I wouldn't think, would cause any specific damage, but without being able to see it, the best determination is by you.

Hi everyone
I'll really appreciate if you can shed some light on this. I just bought the above 46" TV. Well, it's the third one after having returned the first two.
Is it common that the screen of a LCD TV is not sealed to the bezel? When I apply a very gentle finger pressure on the screen, especially on the corners, the screen moves backwards and away from the bezel, probably by about 3mm. It springs back as soon as I remove my finger. Is this normal? Will small dust particles not eventually go in and up on the back of the screen?
Your input is greatly appreciated and thank you.
