Strange vertical grey line on brand new Asus screen

hi guys,

So i just got this brand new asus screen, nice screen have to say but noticed something odd on its pixels. Doesn't appear to be "broken" but there's a group of vertical pixels which you can clearly see on a white or grey background.

had to picture it with my phone as obviously you cannot screen cap that :)

here:

on blue you don't see it. you can see it on red, white, yellow, white, grey....

I dropped a note to asus tech support to see what they think, i mean is not terrible but of course it's a brand new screen, or shall i use it a bit and see if it disappears?

cheers,
Gab

It seems to be too randomly shaped to be dead pixels. I'm wondering if it is a manufacturing defect like a scratch on the film. On the inside of the screen.

hhmhhmhm interesting, could it be during transportation? i got it on amazon and UPS delivered it lol... who knows what happened in the van! wish i could've bought in the store myself but of course, it's all closed now!

i've just rubbed my finger and you dont feel anything absolutely anything i have also cleaned it really well with microfiber cloth - has a lovely black matte finish btw and you don't see anything..... maybe i will just live with it, it's so small.

Also doesn't seem to have any visible scratches or dents or anything. so strange..

curious to see what asus support says

Rather hard to see on your image, but that would be manufacturing defects within the Display Panel.

Dust or dirt or maybe a scratch being trapped between the layers during manufacture and smeared a bit. e.g. maybe during the AR coating or indeed any layer applied.

Poor quality control, not acceptable in my view. Covers too many pixels and a number of them.
