Faint horizontal lines all over MacBook Air M1 screen

I have purchased my MacBook Air M1 last year and there was no damage to the screen since I normally don't carry it with me. Today when I opened the lid I suddenly realised there are faint grey lines all over the screen. Lines are not visible in super black or white backgrounds. That being said, I see no lines when I am on apple logo screen. What should I do?

Vertical line on screen of M1 pro A thin vertical line has appeared running down the screen of my 16inch M1 Pro (about a pixel thick). It flickers and changes colour as images move over it. It just appeared when i was sitting working and it hasn't been bumped or knocked at all. I thought i was most likely a software issue, but when i go to screen grab it, it doesn't show up in the screen grab image - making me think it's the physical screen. I googled the issue and people were saying to reset the VRAM or SMC but it doesn't seem like that applies to the Macbook pros with Apple Silicon. I've tried all the normal trouble shooting stuff. Any advice would help. Cheers.

Vertical black line on MacBook Air M1 screen Hello, I bought my macbook Air M1 nearly 40 days back from today, yesterday while i was watching YouTube suddenly a black thin vertical line showed up on screen, i worried and restarted my macbook but still it's there on screen. I use my macbook very much less just 6 battery cycles done, i never used it very intensely there's not even a single scratch on Mac i handle it very carefully. What should I do please suggest me if anyone knows.
