Fellows, check the
RED BOLD TEXT I left in the OP. It came from @

It's important.

Great, so now we really don't have possible causes outside of hardware that doesn't like heat. Based off what I have read, I'm going to say it's the LGD panels not liking the heat. Looking at the 15 responses to that survey I made, 13 people who got black lines had a LGD/LGIT panel. Of course 15 responses doesn't really make up a large sample size.
Could be heat messing with the power delivery system throughout the device, just the power delivery to the screen, or just the panel hardware itself.

And again, if you have black lines,
PLEASE TAKE THE SURVEY! Having information like this is ALWAYS valuable to have around.

Not entirely, remember so far it's only a small sample size. There is also 1 report of the black lines popping up while the phone was running hot, but it seems like an outlier as the user was the only one who got the lines while on CM11 and one of the 2 that did a dirty flash.
If anyone is rich, we could use like 20-30 G2's, split by panel type, then just run through some tests to see if we can end up with a true fire method to get the black lines. Then just go from there!
