Flickering vertical/horizontal line displayed on screen

I have a IPad Pro 10.5” using the must updated IOS system. in the last couple days I have a Flickering black fine line always being displayed on my screen. No matter what app, program, website I use its always there. Any thoughts or suggestions on solving this.

Thanks in advance, Steve

It is probably a problem with the screen have you dropped it recently?

if it is you will need a new iPad or you can just replace the screen

but first try hard resetting it to see if that does anything. A hard reset does not delete your data. Press the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time. Keep holding the buttons down until after the screen turns black and the iPad starts up again. When the Apple logo appears on the screen, release the buttons.

Thanks for the help. No damage, drops, etc. I purchased this in April 2018 new. It’s in flawless condition and I’ve had many iPad’s. This is the first time Ive had any issue with an Apple product, and i have many. I will try and research the cost of screen replacement From Apple but I’m guessing in wont be cheap.
