Default One lane of S6 display module ghosting

Wondering if there's anything that can be done here, or if this is starting to be hosed and I need a replacement?

I was in a session actively for about 12 hours today.

On closing out of the session, I noticed one specific section of the 7th channel slot of the display module was ghosting the panning display and the bit above that. In the first photo you can see it's pretty bright. It was also flickering slightly. I thought it might be still getting some data from WSControl or something so I killed WSC but it didn't stop. I was quite worried when I rebooted the module and it was still there too. It faded over a few minutes after I did a full S6 reboot, but is still there for sure (second photo).

Eddie and friends, or anyone else on S4/S6, seen anything like this?

It's less than a year in service and doesn't have THAT many hours either.

It seems to be an exact specific rectangular section of the display, not just some rows of pixels, and it's also only in one channel.. there were 2 channels up for most of the day, identical. Very odd.

Actually seems it’s just the whole display when you have the same thing in a certain area for a long time so i imagine this is expected?

If this was burn in I would expect the whole display to be like that at the same time. Does it clear if you power cycle it?

It is the whole display, the parts of it that were static for a long time it seems - like the panner. The waveform and meters are not burned in..

It does NOT clear if power cycled.

It DOES go away after a few minutes of blank lanes, fading out.

Oh OK...we do see this sometime on the MTM, which has the same screen. Just the transistors being lazy and will clear.
