image retention m1

I have often seen a persistent light image in the middle of my MacBook (especially with pdf pages). The image disappears after a long time if I keep the screensaver on. My MacBook Air m1 is new (10 days).

Is it defective? Should I get it replaced?

From this picture you can't see much, but there is a persistent image below.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0

Display issue or wallpaper issue. There is some discolouring at right top corner of the Macbook m1 pro 16inch that too when opened Launchpad for certain wallpapers such as "The "Lake" or "The Beach" in light mode. Do anyone have any idea. This is not shown in other wallpapers be it either dark or light. I have seen the same effect in all other display models somewhat different lengths in showroom. So is this wallpaper issue or display issue? Can anyone help me out. Bought just a week ago i.e July 1st 2023

Hole visible in MacBook Pro 2020 when screen is off Hi, My brand new MacBook Pro 13 inch 2020 has a hole showing behind the screen (most visible when angled towards light). I’m going to return it but does anyone know what causes this, just in case it happens again with future MacBook Pros?

Spots under the MacBook screen Please tell me if it is considered normal that there are dark spots under the MacBook Air (M2) screen that are very visible on a light background? In the store (retail) where the MacBook was purchased, they did not find a problem, they do not seem to see these dark spots. Is it normal to have such a screen on new MacBooks?
