Does anyone have any idea what this is? And possibly an easy fix? Dark line above the word favorite.

It's probably the panel. You can try the pixel refresh feature on your TV if it has one. If it doesn't there are pixel refresh videos on YouTube. They may help but probably not honestly. The cost to fix it if it's not under warranty will be high and probably better spent towards a new TV imo.

It looks like the screen was mishandled during production or pressure was applied to that area? If it's new it should be covered under warranty.

Or if it is older and OLED that might be burn in. I think most companies warranty burn in as long as it's been used normally and less than a year old.
