I would suspect hardware issue—


You can take a screenshot and see if the line is present—


Screenshots come directly from the GPU, and typically horizontal lines would point to GPU /screen buffer /display-generator issue.


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"
