Black horizontal lines on MacBook Air

Hi guys, I few weeks ago I notice these black horizontal lines on my MacBook Air M2 2022. I didn’t drop it or anything and the screen was replaced in January of this year. Can someone help? It doesn’t affect the performance but it’s kinda annoying (the photo I have included if an apple background so it’s not the background being low quality)

MacBook Air, macOS 26.0

Thank you or the screenshot.


Your Screen is Failing:

From what you have reported, your screen is apparently failing. So, It is time for a new screen. If you have not had this replaced, and it is covered under warranty, then it might be replaceable by Apple, free of charge --but that it Apple's call.


What to Try: 


Perhaps this is a Faulty Device?: Note that you have a one-year, out-of-the-box, limited-warranty with this. So, if it is still covered under Apple Care, then see if you can get the screen replaced. Being faulty, it likely would be nothing on you. Ask Apple Support for a new screen.
