Hi there

Are you able to take a photo of it and post it on these forums - as you might understand, its hard to know what it is unless seeing it.

Cheers

Seems similar to this:

Not specificaly white but Gray Uniformity.

If so, then it is an LCD screen issue. It’s entirely down to the panel you get, according to article Quinnicus gives.

You have been given clue, but you don't seem to be able to accept it 😞

No wonder you are still in the dark.

But let me try one last time......

Start a browser. Type the text string I gave above into the Search box.

See which, if any, of the many results chimes in with your issue.

Here are the results I got. I do not know why you could not have done this for yourself?

I can't, of course, say which one it might be, but it may well be you have your picture size set to something exact, instead of (say) the 16:9 that will use overscan to adjust this.

Or call this another stupid remark, and you will never get any help from me ever again. Your choice.....

HI @Gally36

Appologies for not replying sooner. I have had a good look at your photo, and unfortanately I cannot see a white line?

If the google photos/links that have been posted already do not fit your issue, then I can only assume a back light bleed issue between the frame and the panel. Have a read of the following link and see if it matches your symptoms:

I think he rotated photo. See the white line along the left edge of the photo.

Working from the top of the photo, I see plain maroon, then a black bar with a raised bit, then the faintest of faint white lines (zooming in helps discern it) then uniform grey (bit of clouding, but that will be the set) and then on the left in the picture, a red, black and white object I can't make out.

Is that what you see?

I have to say that a light grey screen does not show this line as clearly as a darker colour might.

We have also not asked the OP when he does and doesn't see this line; omnipresent, just on broadcast, on some channels but no others, there on the Home screen, etc.

As the references I gave imply it might be an artefact of some of the less well funded channels....
