I hope this comment isn't *incredibly* off-topic, but we encountered a
similar issue with NVIDIA (and I believe AMD) hardware a while back,
related to HDMI. This was due to infoframes not being sent, but
(perhaps) HDMI Audio being enabled.

This was a single vertical(!) line. It was described as "purple", but
not sure that's distinguishable from "magenta" by most people. [ Fixed

Cheers,
