My monitor has the same problem, it's about 1/3 of the screen size in from the left. I don't know what monitor I have, though, just the one that came with my computer and I haven't read any specifics on monitor type, but looking at the Dell monitors for sale, it looks to be an E152FP. Really annoying.

Here are some things to try and resolve the issue with the monitor.
Perform monitor reset
Push 'Auto Adjust' button
Adjust 'Phase' and 'Clock' controls via OSD
Perform monitor self-test feature check and determine if these lines are also in self-test mode
Check for bent or broken pins on the D-sub cable.
If these steps do not resolve the issue with the monitor you may want to try removing and reinstalling the video card drivers back into the system. If you need information on installing video card drivers you can view the FAQ in the Dimension Video Conference Forum.
My 1702FP monitor has the very same problem (single vertical line). It is an intermittant problem. There are no loose cables, and monitor test may or may not be a viable troubleshooting tool, as it is an intermittant problem. It appears to be a hardware problem with the monitor - as a very light tap to the top of the monitor will cause the red line to go away. Will Dell please share with us the common failures they have seen with these monitors? Is there a specific component that has shown a failure trend causing these red-lines?
