Red Line in Display Screen? (pics)

I started my 2015 f150 up earlier and noticed a red line at the top of the display screen. It does not really bother me, i just want to make sure it wont get worse (or if its an indicator of a larger issue). Does anyone know how to fix this? Any info/help would be greatly appreciated! I started the truck up again for lunch and its still there.

thanks in advance!

Likely the LCD panel is failing. If you have any warranty left, get it replaced. If not, those small screens are plentiful and cheap.

Yep, almost certainly a failure of the LCD bonding. If you palpate the edges of the screen near the line, it may change/move/get brighter or dimmer/etc.

My screen has the same problem but many lines at the top not just one. I replaced the screen myself which was very easy but I lost function of the bluetooth and the satellite radio. Now I'm trying to find out if it's because the truck I got the screen out of didnt come with these options or if the dealer has to program it and unlock it somehow. So far no dealerships have been able to help me. Very frustrating.
