Apple Studio Display dead pixel horizontal line 22 days to late

22 days after AppleCare expiry, the screen got the dreaded HW issue for display owner - horizontal dead pixel line.

• "Interesting. I had a horizontal row of pixels go out on mine a few months ago. See horizontal line in image below. Apple won't fix it because it's 1.5 years old and the warranty is only one year."

• "MIne broke after 15 months. Horizontal lines on the bottom 25% of the screen."
• "Mine lasted 3 years. Started to show horizontal lines that would flicker and progressively got worse over time - it's pretty much useless now. "

I thought a $1599,- display + $400,- for tilt/height would last more than 3 years, 22 days.

Now I'm in the same situation as lots of others - pay Apple $1000 to REPLACE, or just accept the fact that this display cost the same as buying a $533,- display every year.

Anyone got any tips?
