horiztonal lines on macbook air

I randomly have horizontal lines on the screen of my brand new macbook air. They are faint but very bothersome because it's like it doesn't have the clear retina screen, it looks like a very old old macbook! I've tried a couple of the restarting options that people have suggested but nothing is working. I've attached pictures of what it looks like. Please let me know if you can help!! Thank you so much!!!

..Depending on your location or region, there may be an "Authorized Apple Service Provider"

(an independent repair &/or retail sales agent) nearer you where no 'official Apple' retail exist.


Apple - Find Locations - Location Selector (global by region/country/city)

https://locate.apple.com/findlocations


There also are some who may provide authorized repair services through parcel shipping.

Hello, carleah6!


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities! From your post, it sounds like you're seeing horizontal lines on your new MacBook Air. The photos included make it hard to see, and the lines might've been removed by the Moderator due to personal information.


That being said, as always, you'd want to make sure you're on the newest macOS version in case this might be software related: Update macOS on Mac. As always with any macOS update, you'd want to make sure you have a backup as a best-practice.


If this doesn't help or resolve this issue, you can also have it inspected by a service provider in your area. Use this link: Apple - Find Locations. By doing this, they'd be able to see what you're seeing and offer the best solution for you.


Warm wishes.
