There is a problem with the monitor. Try resetting the SMC:

If that does not resolve the issue, it will need repair.

My screen has a white thin verticle line from top to bottom of screen. can this be fixed? Thank you for your time MF

Try to connect an external monitor to the laptop. If the white line is on the external monitor as well then you have a bad video chip in the motherboard, but if the line is gone when using a external monitor then it's the LCD and you should have it replaced.

Verticle yellow line from top of screen to bottom on all channels even when playing a DVD. Thin vertical line. Help please.

Unfortunately this is a fault with the screen & the only remedy is to have the screen replaced. If it is still under warrenty then you will be covered for a replacement if not the cost of a new screen can cost almost as much as a new TV.

Red screen, horizontal lines, 2'' black vertical bars both sides

it looks to me that you are not a technician becouse you are measuring at the wrong places risking a hazard shock if you have a little experience get the service manual and check your power supply and the h v capacitors near the horizontal output if not please take it to your service center

Screen is not a true square: One verticle side shorter than other

Simply just manualy adjust the bottom of the screen by adjusting the distance by an inch or so.
Depending on what screen you have adjust it from behind or vith a thin thread

Projectors

Hi there

This would mean that your Projector is still under warranty.

The problem you are describing is a faulty Mainboard - which fortunatelly for you is covered under warranty.

51 big screen apex tv, convergence or verticle IC?

If the lines are thin and close together running horizontally, it may be the vertical driver, but that usually takes out the resistor and sometimes the diode in the B+ for the vert. Also you must replace the caps that caused the problem in the first place.
