    Idk if this is a problem with anyone else, but if I press the left and right edges of my screen, I can tell that they are popped out (towards me) slightly. If I press hard, I can hear and feel the adhesive behind the panel sticking and holding the sides in place, but after a day or so it will come unstuck and pop out again. This doesn't affect the functionality of the laptop because the top and bottom are still held securely in place. It's just weird and something that I wouldn't think would be an issue. Is anyone else seeing this with their screen? I haven't dropped it or anything like that, it seems like just the adhesive on the sides has become unstuck over time.

    Yes it is a known problem of the FHD panel as they glue a surround on. Phone Dell, get it replaced.
