Why is there a vertical purple line in the middle of the screen

Tv worked fine until I put it screen down on bed to attach wall mounting device for wall mount, once I put it on the wall mount and powered it up this purple vertical line appeared in middle of the screen.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Same exact scenario except for mine is the Sony Bravia XBR-65X850F. It happened when I was mounting the tv and holding it by the bottom when the flimsy bottomade a crack noise. So lame... I'm considering taking it apart to see if unplugging and replugging the cables helps, but I'm guessing not ☹️

@riddlen "flimsy bottomade a crack noise." with a subsequent line sure sounds like a broken LCD. We'd have to see this to verify it.
