Nor have I experienced vertical lines in direct sunlight - maybe UK sunlight is too weak or too infrequent
Here's an older thread showing an image of what happens. For me it only happens during the summer and in direct sunlight, it has to be a heat issue that causes it. The longer you go without a page refresh, the darker and higher up the lines will extend. And as I said, a page refresh clears up the lines.
