    When flipping the lcd cover up and down, I spotted the liquid crystal moving at the center of the lcd screen. Nothing happen to the screen if the lcd is in stationary. Is it normal?

    Where are you holding the screen? Top or side?

    For this video is from the backside of the lcd. It doesn't really matter. Be it side or top holding the lcd panel, i can see the liquid movement.

    I think it's just the plastic cover in front of your screen that pushes against it.
    Some people had a problem where some kind of stain would appear in the center of the screen, and it was fixed by removing and reinsterting the plastic cover.

    If I'm right, the same thing will happen if you press (lightly) the plastic cover in the center of the screen.

    Yeah it looks pretty normal to me, it'll happen anytime you apply pressure to it.
