It's the uneven anged slice in the circled area that can be nothing else other than a cracked screen. If it were just pefectly straight lines, either vertical or horizontal, it could be a bad controller, but that's not the case in your image. In reading their full response, they referred to the specific area as well and said how they could tell it was physical damage.
Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I wont bother fighting it.
