Screen "bleeding?"

[Jaydea]

My Vortex lll has, for quite a while now, had faint red line areas on its screen for a while. While these were initially minor, they are not only slowly becoming more and more noticeable during everyday use, but are becoming bigger and bigger. The initial line is actually "bleeding" and has bled about an inch downwards.

Any ideas? Is this repairable? I still have my year warranty, will I be eligible for a replacement screen? I don't particularly want a screen with a giant red pool in the middle of it.

From what you're describing, it sounds like a faulty screen outside of the dead pixel variety so should be covered by your warranty. Best to contact PCS directly by phone or email to request an RMA and get that screen replaced which can be done in a few days depending on stock.

Can you take a picture of this 'bleed'

It doesn't show up on my camera, unfortunately. But it looks like a faint red blur over the screen. And it becomes very prominent when playing games or watching videos. And it's most definitely getting worse.

No ideas on what could be wrong?

Have you contacted PCS to see what their stance is?
