Weird smudge lines across my screen on iMac 27"

I saw another post similar that is having this issue. Mine looks exactly the same. It's less than 3 years old. When I clean it using just water and microfiber cloth, these lines remain. They are only visible when the screen is off. This is a photo posted by another user, but mine looks very similar, just not as pronounced.

Black marks on inside of 27" iMac My iMac is way out of warranty at this point, but there are black marks (splotches?) on the inside of both bottom corners of my screen. What is this and is it repairable? Is it even worth/cost effective to repair? Here is a link to a video of it: https://imgur.com/a/HEjlHq8

Tiny Pin holes on my MacBook Screen So recently I was wiping of the dusts on my screen and I noticed a really tiny holes. I thought it would be dust and wiped it. But it wouldn’t go . It’s indeed a hole as I can feel the depth. I got these 3 months ago and it’s the new MacBook Air M2. You can zoom into the picture and see it. Is there any solution?

My 2016 MBP has some of that but since I don't notice it unless it's turning off I just ignore it.
