Hi, Has anybody experienced anything similar? The Red line appeared not too long ago - doesn’t go all the way like in other cases I have seen. Red, quite thin just above halfway up - most visible on dark backgrounds, less so on others. pics here:

As you state the external display doesn’t show it we can surmise the issue is within the internal display assembly not the GPU logic. The OS level won’t be a factor either.
