Dash Display weirdness

[youzguyz]

Out for a ride and on my way home. Looked down, and my display was all squished to the top (or so it seemed). Had not hit a major bump, it wasn't extremely hot or cold out.
The bike was running fine so I finished the ride like that. I didn't want to turn it off in case it wouldn't start again.
Got home, shut the bike down, fired it back up, and the display was fine.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.

Look at the right photo. The screen is black except for a wide horizontal white line at the top and two narrow ones in the middle. Squished! (compressed, mushed, etc)

did you jump a really big pot hole recently? any work done near handlebar? or anything done to bike recently ?

I would remove the dash connector OR fuse to cut the power completely and give it a reset.

screen flicker is common issue across LCDs/screens
for example -

No to all of the above. It happened on a fairly smooth road.
I tried giving it the traditional impact technology adjustment (smacked it) to no effect. Wiggled it via the tilt handle, no change. It has not occurred again. If it does, I will try a disconnect, clean the connector and reconnect to see if the problem comes back. However, I am presuming that the logic to draw the screen is internal to the display unit itself. The connector only conveys information to be displayed on the screen.
