What happens when you take a screenshot? Do you still see this error, when view in (i.e. in the Photos app)? If so, then it is an issue with the macOS, if not, then it is a hardware issue, and you should get this serviced. Go Here: Take a Screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support

FYI, the user should make sure to move the window containing the screenshot to the right or left a bit so that the user can be sure whether the picture contains the line or not (don't want the screenshot to overlap the actual line). Or the screenshot picture can be viewed on another device.


Most vertical lines are going to be a hardware issue with the Display Assembly which @TheLittles' screenshot test will confirm.
