Monitor question

I got a question about LCD panels. I have a JVC 24 inches, which I love for the price I paid ($2200 with 120 hours of use)
So far no problems, beautiful image, but I found, after looking from the sides, that the LCD screen is not perfectly flat, you can see some sort of bumps, very subtle. Anyways, on a bright scene, on pans, specially on grays, I can see now some sort of vertical shadows, which sometimes I'm not sure if it's my eyes tricking me, and if I ask my girlfriend she will think I went totally nuts and probably leave me on the spot. But the bumps are there for a fact.
So my question is, is it normal of LCD screens? Is it a known issue? Like dead pixels? If I have to choose between this and dead pixels, without a doubt I will choose this, dead pixels are a torture, this is an occasional subtle annoyance. I can still take it for warranty, but you know, sometimes they can make it worse, they can fix one thing and give me dead pixels and then say, "well, dead pixels are accepted as normal", absolutely ridiculous.


So I would appreciate any comments on this, specially if you're using the same monitor, it's a JVC DTV24L1D

Thanks!
