My Imac screen has a grey translucent effect covering the lower 2/3rds of the screen. Any ideas what I can do to fix it?

Is your iMac an M1 iMac? If it is you're probably experiencing what many other M1 wonder are experiencing: the following topics illustrate the Silicon M1 iMac Display problem:

Currently there is no Service Program for that issue but keep checking this website in case Apple instigates one: Apple Service Programs - Apple Support.
Currently the only options are to:
1 - pay to have the screen replaced.
2 - get a 3rd party monitor and use it while darkening the iMac's screen.
3 - get a new Mac.
I wish I had better news to tell.
I am sorry, on the screenshot I don’t see any issues?
If there’s an issue that i cannot see, you can always try to boot your mac in the safe mode to see if the issues persist
Start up your Mac with Apple silicon in safe mode
If the issue do not persist in safe mode, the issue is most likely caused by an external piece of software.
Thanks for that. Yes, it appears it's the screen itself. When I screenshot the 'image' if I open that file on my Macbook, the screenshot doesn't show the issue. Guess I'll have to send it in for repairs. Just 30months old. My last Imac lasted 8 years!
If your screen resembles the ones at > Persistent horizontal lines appear on iMa… - Apple Community
Then your options are to have it repaired, use an external display or replace it with a new Mac.
