Scratch on glass panel?

[lucidthrowaway]

Hello all, today when I got home from shopping and sat down to play some Counter-Strike, something odd happened. I played one game fine, and when I got into the next one, I went afk for a moment to plug my phone in and when I came back I noticed a scratch on my screen. I thought it was a possible dead pixel but upon touching the mark it appeared to be a scratch. I honestly have no idea where it came from as I do not abuse my electronics and most certainly not this monitor that was a gift. It is an ASUS VG248QE and I am curious as to whether or not the warranty would replace it. If one were to run their finger over it, they would feel that it is a break in the glass like an iPhone or any other phone with a cracked screen. So my question is, will Amazon replace this or would I have to contact ASUS for support and possibly RMA and replace the glass or replace the monitor altogether? The pics included are the best ones I can get.

Do you own an animal that could have done it?

My animal has no possible way of getting up onto my desk, also the package was opened yesterday and to my knowledge it was ordered last month. I just received this as a gift

I would try to send it back or warranty it just say it was like when pulled it out of the box if you have only had it set up for a day.
