My suggestion is to grab a screenshot, then compare with the original screen display. If the same flaw is in the screenshot the problem is in the image rendering (processor and logic board). If the flaw appears only on the live screen but not the screenshot the problem is in the display panel. (Check with more than one different image just to prove it is not aa bad source image file). Then contact Apple Support to arrange repair.
