Vertical lines are more common as a corollary of a drop or impact. But it's hardly mandatory. The root cause is a loose or dislodged display connector. Just bad luck and hardly worth losing sleep over. So do a return and problem solved.

Well I paid for brand new unit and it was only 5 days old, so it is kind of a big deal to me. Even more so since I went through three replacements for the PW1 and two replacements for the PW2 because their screens were so awful. In the end I returned the last replacement for the PW1 and the PW2 then waited several years before trying another lighted model. After all these years they should have figured out how to achieve better quality control. If I get a refurbished unit on Monday it will immediately be returned and I won’t try again. I’m not going through multiple replacements like I did with the PW’s years ago.
And yes I’ve actually bought refurbished items in the past, but I paid less for them than a new item, plus it was my choice. If I buy a new item and it has to be replaced in 5 days then I expect a new replacement. If the item has to be replaced several months after the purchase I might understand getting a refurbished replacement, but not for an item that is less than a week old.
