S2716DG, vertical yellow lines on right half of screen visible with brighter gray colors
I just discovered some vertical yellow-ish looking lines. the defect is literally only on the right half the of screen and it looks like its stops perfectly in the middle straight down the screen. the lines only show with brighter grayish looking colors. like clouds. I cant see them at all with a darker wallpaper. when I got this monitor I used a darker wallpaper so I may have had this problem from the very beginning. I just reinstalled windows cause I built a new pc so I changed wallpapers. thats why I'm noticing the problem now. its 6 months old. I got it on dell outlet so it only had a 90 day warranty :(. I still paid a lot of money for this monitor. I tried using a hdmi cable instead of display port. I also tried using my PCs onboard video instead of my video card. made no difference. heres a picture and two videos I took showing the issue:

Hi Gabe,
Sorry for missing your reply. I checked with Chris (Board Manager for the Monitors section) and he let me know that you should be all set since the reset worked.
Best regards,
Brad
