This line of faint green pixels suddenly showed on my 144hz Dell dS2719DGF that I got about a year and half ago. So far I've tried replugging and restarting the monitor but it's still there.

Any ideas what it might be ? It's only easy to notice against darker background and doesn't show up on the dead pixels test. Apologies for the photo quality.

Unfortunately, pixels that are permanently off or stuck is a natural defect that can occur in LCD monitors.

Reset monitor to the factory settings using the function buttons in the OSD menu and perform a Self-Test.

Press the Menu button > Select Display > Reset Display
Disconnect all display and USB cables.
-Press and hold the button 3* for 5 seconds. A gray screen appears.
Inspect the screen and see if the line is present.
-Press the button 3 again, the monitor color changes to red.
Inspect the screen and see if the line is present.
-Press the button 3 again, the monitor color changes to green.
Inspect the screen and see if the line is present.
-Press the button 3 again, the monitor color changes to blue.
Inspect the screen and see if...

Just tested it out with an HDMI cable - still shows up. Any idea what might have caused it and is it fixable or I'll have to return it ? (something I'd really prefer not to do)

Connect the monitor to another computer and if it stills shows that line, then is the monitor.

As I said, I first noticed it on my work pc using the same monitor. It's very much the monitor sadly, so I was mainly wondering if it's possible to somehow fix it at home.
