weird broken screen problem - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I have no idea how this happened 5 minutes ago I was playing draw something on the tablet then I closed it did a few things and when I come back to it I have a large horizontal line going across the screen and a small ink splotch on the bottom of the horizontal line. I can't take a screen shot of it. The picture comes out fine. Can someone plz tell me if this is a hardware or software issue and how to handle it. I bought the prime in Feb so I don't know if I'm under warranty or not. Plz help this is extremely upsetting.

If you reboot and the problem is there during the splash screen, then I'd say hardware.

I guess its hardware but how could this happen maybe too ,much pressure in that area? How much/little pressure could cause this. Its even in a roocase. Will Asus fix it if I complain about this with GPS issues?

That was mine on starting it for the first time. Had to RMA to replace the screen.

You used your Prime to take a screenshot and were surprised that the crack in the glass didn't show up in the image?
Just... lol

The screen physically is fine. No "cracks" on the outside so I wasn't sure if it was on the internal or software
