Touch screens are by their nature flexible. The gap being compressed is what denotes the position of contact. I've worked with touch screens since about 10 years ago. Every attempt I have
seen to fix a touch screen tightly only increased the likelyhood
of it failing. The idea is to get it tight enough to be accurate and transparent but not so tight that it stretches on contact. If it stretches it will, before long, stay stretched.
It should not distort the screen all that much, only if you are viewing at an angle where the reflection is bad anyway should you
be able to see the bowing distinctly.
If you can see it at almost any angle then I would think you have a definite loss of adhesion --- talk to HP (or your retailer).
But hey who reads what they write? :-)
