Unfortunately, your display problem is not repairable, except by replacing the display panel itself. What's happened is that something in the electronics built in to the display panel has failed, and it's keeping that column of pixels stuck on all the time. There isn't any way to get at those electronics to repair them, so the only cure is a new display.
This kind of defect would be something that the manufacturer would fix if the monitor was still under warranty. Yours is probably out of warranty, but it can't hurt to check your owner's manual or the HP website, and see if there's any hope. If your monitor is past any warranty, it's time to look for a replacement.
I wish I had a more positive answer. Thanks for using Fixya anyway!
Have you tried adjusting the settings? I have the same monitor and had problems with ghosting. I used the software that came with the monitor to fix the problem. While I was making adjustments, I noticed that at certain settings, the monitor will have a similar problem as the one you say you are having.
You can use the settings menu (the first button on the bottom of the front of the chassis) to change the settings. Here are the ones I am using. I recommend installing the software and, starting with these, make adjustments until you are happy. You can save as many settings setups as you like if you have the software. Here are the settings:
Settings from the menu
Brightness: 53
Contrast: 80
Color Control: sRGB
For the following, will need the software:
Focus: Pitch 60 Phase 38
RGB: 1 212 2 212 3 212 4 38 5 38 6 38
If you don't have the software, maybe you can look around for it, but the first 3 settings are the most important ones, anyway, and you can adjust the color levels using the custom color ranges from the menu.
Hope this helps...
