Samsung 191T - gap between LCD panel and chassis is normal?

Hi, I just bought a Samsung 191T Silver from online store (BCD2000) and notice the following:
1. The DVI and Analog cables are both plugged in the LCD. At first, I was suspicious if the LCD is used, but from another post, it looks like this is normal.

2. This is my concern: there is a gap between the LCD panel and lower chassis. Every time I pushed the menu buttons, the chassis moved like rubber. I can also see the light from the input indicator (A or B) if I look at the LCD from the top. There is nothing wrong with the picture, and this problem does not affect anything (just cosmetic). But this is supposed to be one of the good LCD out there, so I am just quite concerned if I am getting a badly built LCD. I see another reviewer from newegg.com which has the same like this. Can anyone who owns 191T tell me if your LCD has the same build like mine? I still can return it and get another one (still within 30 days).

Thank you so much.

I checked mine and there is a very slight gap, nothing to really worry about.

Seems to be working ok. I don't think it's really anything to be concerned about.

With such a thin bezel, I think a little flex comes with the territory.

Thank you for the reply.

That's my hope. I really hate to go through the trouble of getting exchange with online retailer. It's just so much hassle.

I just check mine again. I can also see the power light in the inside if I look at the LCD from the top. There is definitely bending in the lower chassis. And I don't see this bending in the left, right, or top chassis.

Can anyone else post comment here?

Thank you.

Bud, I own a 191N and a 191T and they both have this trait and it is barely noticable.

Until you mentioned it, I never knew it really had the tiny space. It's really not bad at all unless you look down from the top of the monitor.

How about you just enjoy your monitor.

no worries, it's such a beautiful monitor though.

Man, I'll never do work on nothing less.
