S2716DG, source of "scar" causing discoloration?

I started noticing this weird scar/discoloration on my S2716DG. I'm not sure how long its been there, but it definitely wasn't there when I bought the S2716DG. It appears much more clearly under certain colors than others. Here are a few pictures on different colors:

 

I am referring to the whiteish streak on the top third of the screen. So in these pictures it shows pretty clearly on the gray, baby blue, and purple screens, but isn't visible on the blue screen. Any idea on what the defect is and possibilities as to how it happened?

I also have this effect on my S2716DG. After a lot of searching it seems most pictures I can find of this effect on are on the S2716DG. Mine isn't quite as far down as yours but its still really annoying on certain colours. I have had flat panels since they became available for home use and have I never seen it before and neither has anyone else I have shown. Sadly this happened less than a month after my warranty expired and Dell cannot offer any repair option so it's either put up with it or buy another monitor which will NOT be the S2716DG.
