Hello Boni, thanks for the response but I ran a scan and also tried your solution. The issue is not software related I guess. Because when I took a screenshot the line wasn't visible in the screenshot.
Got a tip for us?

Ipad Pro 3rd Gen - Black Thin Line on the Middle of the Screen

This thread periodically reappears since 2018. It's a hardware issue. I have it on my old iPad 2. There is nothing to do about it if you are no longer under warranty...
As of now the line is disappearing and again coming back. How will I be able to reproduce the problem at the service center?
P.S - I have made a video in which there is the disappearance of the line. I hope it works
I’m also having the same problem. Thin horizontal line suddenly appeared while using safari. Any updates on your side? Were you able to find a fix?
If it's under warranty and problem persist because of some hardware faulty you are gonna get new iPad in brown box without charger. Please go your nearby Apple Authorised Centre and get it fix.
Mine keeps appearing and disappearing. Unfortunately my warranty ended 5 days ago
any updates on this issue? Similar problem showed up for me yesterday. Very thin horizontal black line along the middle of the screen.
I found a solution and it worked for me!
I recently bought a 4th Gen iPad Pro 12.9 inch with a "defective screen" according to the seller. Apparently he got a new iPad Pro, so the unit is just lying around. I got it at a really cheap price. When I looked at it, the screen has 2 blueish/ dark violet lines across the screen. I thought at first they are dead pixels, but the colors are not totally black, which means the pixels are not totally dead. They are still emitting light. if it is not black, it is only a stuck pixel. The seller also said that the lines would sometimes disappear (like 5% of the time). It disappears for a few seconds and then would reappear back once the screen shows white colors.
So I tried scouring the internet looking for a possible solution and I found one that worked for me. So, there are "stuck pixel fixers" on youtube and all I did was play it for 3 hours, and viola! The line was GONE!!! Just play the video in full screen and zoom in the video (via pinch-zoom), so that the entire video is covering the entire screen (no black bars at the top). Leave it for a couple of hours. Don't stare at it because it's painful in the eyes. Also, turn the brightness of the iPad up. Mine was set at 80% brightness when I did it. Hope this also works for you.
I was so pumped. I only spent $300 for an iPad Pro 12.9 with 256 GB Storage and Cellular capability, which could easily sell for $500-$700. Not selling it though. ^_^
Here is a link to the video I used to fix it.
Cheers!
