vertical line of 'crawling ants' on 23" Cinema HD Display

I have a very consistent vertical dotted line, constantly moving upwards, about one inch from the left edge of the LCD panel. It appeared out of nowhere.

It looks just like the "crawling ants" type of marquee when you draw a selection in a graphics program.

It's always in the exact same place, even after multiple restarts.

It can be covered by background desktop pictures, colors, or screensavers, but not by others. Even when it's covered by a certain background, it still appears over icons and open windows.

Can anyone help me resolve or troubleshoot this?
