Possible crack?

[dirtworm2001]

I have seen pictures of people's lcd and it completly destroys the screen, but i think mine is cracked but it doesn't actually effect the screen. on the bottem of the screen there is a 1/2 inch long gray line, very thing, going on an angle to the right (its about in hte middle of the bottem part of the screen. THis appened a month ago, i heard about apple's policy about lcd screens so i just bought an external screen and have been using that.
I am in college and i use my laptop in the lecture hall for notes during biology. I am always looking at the crack, making sure it doesn't get any larger, and quite literally, i watched about 1/4 of an inch to the right of the crack a few pixels grouped together died, then about another 1/4 of an inch to the right of that another small grouping just died.
Is this a crack in the lcd screen? I love my macbook and treat it like an egg.

They would most likely replace it if it came like that.

Call applecare and talk to them.

How did the crack happen? Sure it's not just a scratch? Odd about the pixels though; are we talking dead (black) pixels are stuck pixels (coloured)?

no..it didn't come like that, but oddly as i said it treat it very well...i will post pictures by the end of the night...and i was mistaken about it being dead pixels i guess...they are gray, which is odd, the line is also gray...i had called applecare and they told me (after being charged for the phonecall because my 6 month phone support ended) that i need to bring it to an apple store, nearest is 2 hours away and i'm a colege kid without a car...so thats not happening anytime soon...
as i said pictures soon...

i was wrong about them being dead pixels
when i put slight pressure on any area of the screen the two spots hte odd marks are act like i am pressing on it, i told this to my roomate and surprise suprise, he has the same problem but on the middle of his screen
is apple selling crappy lcd screens?
there is no way i am not paying for a repair on something thats their fault

i still have to get ahead of a digtal camera for a picture....

As we said, without seeing, any guesses are purely that.
