One little red line

[bigbeark]

I just purchased an Optiquest Q19WB 19 inch widescreen monitor at a really low price.

Everything works fine, but after I did an Ubuntu update and restarted a tiny red vertical line appeared on the black Ubuntu flash screen.

Most of the time, the line is invisible, against a white background it does not show at all.
Given that the monitor was cheap and otherwise works fine, I am not too aggrieved.

For future reference, what causes this, will it get worse, and is it fixable?

Re: One little red line

Ive seen it before, sometimes it can be as easy as just gently pushing a little at each end of the line, on the frame of the screen and it goes away. Dont press hard though cause that might make it worse. Think it was a laptop last time, think the owner clamped his hand together too hard on the edge and made it happen.

Can be other things as well of course but start with the simple things.
