Display problems with the new iMac that's not even 2 years old

I bought the new iMac (2021) in the year it was released in August, so it's not even 2 years old. All of a sudden, when I was using the device, black horizontal lines appeared on the screen and the top left corner of the iMac was heating up. I'm surprised as to how a product that's not even 2 years old could have such major problems.


Took it to the service providers at iCare who said that the device passed all the Apple diagnostic tests. They suspect it's a problem with the display but cannot confirm unless the open it up to replace it which is going to cost me a third of what I originally paid for it. Customer support has been pretty unhelpful too and refuse to connect me with someone who might be able to escalate the complaint. Any idea on what I could do to take up the matter further? I'm really at a loss of what to do since replacing the display would be too expensive, especially when nobody can even confirm what's wrong with it in the first place.

iMac 24″, macOS 13.2

Have you blown the dust out of the intakes lately?

What temperatures does this App report? Especially the GPU.

This App can be used to speed up the fans, all my iMacs would be dead without it.

Never ever ever drop fan speeds below the speed that the Mac itself is calling for.

Take a screen shot & view that in Preview, move the Preview window around, if you see double lines it's a Video card/VRAM problem, if the lines do not move moving the pic around then it's the LCD or cable.
