Change Resolution Settings

If it is not the version of your PS5, means you have already updated it or it is already the latest version then the culprit might be your resolution settings. 

To fix white or blue lines on your PS5 that could be vertical or horizontal, you need to change the resolution settings. Change the resolution from ‘automatic’ to lower and then set it back to 2160p. This would fix the problem. 

The resolution by default is set to ‘automatic’ which means that the PS5 will select the best resolution for your screen automatically, but some conventional wisdom will tell you that this may hit your PS5’s performance. 

For many users, it proved- when they changed the resolution from ‘automatic’ to 2160p, the white lines were no more!
