I have one of the newer 14" MacBook Pros (Space Gray) and I've encountered some odd little dot-shaped specs that often collect on the screen that I continue to have to clean off. I've attached a photo of this and I was just hoping to get some more insight to what these are and if I just need to continue cleaning my screen sometimes.
Thank you.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.6
Sorry, but I'm confused by that picture - it does not look like a computer Finder screen with a background pic and folders or files and icons showing. It just looks like window shades with a few white spots. Since it's a laptop can you just turn it so you can actually see the computer screen and then take a full screen screenshot - see how here:

that's a really interesting picture, but you have not included anything as a size reference. There is no screen-edge or any icons to use a size indicators. I can't tell whether this is the entire screen or the center square inch.
When you clean those off, what do they look like on your damp cloth?
Then it would appear that you need to look for the cause/source of the spots in your environment and/or anyone using it. It could be as easy as sprayed on droplets of liquids. Even though I try to be careful, I get those occasionally.
If you have attached photo files, I can not get them to come up on my computer.
Please try again. You likely need to use the "image Insertion" icon in the footer -- looks like a moon over mountains.
It is a zoomed in picture of the screen because I had to resize the picture to be able to upload it here (I was prompted that the photo must not exceed 5mb). I was having trouble getting a photo to upload without being more than 5mb, but everything you're seeing is the screen (with a reflection). I can take another shot, but I'm trying to figure out how to make the photo size not exceed the limit.
I don't usually check what it looks like on the cloth after I clean those off, but I don't see anything unusual when I've checked my cloth at times. I'll check more next time I clean those off. The spots are consistent so sometimes I just wonder if it's anything I should read further into or if it's just the way Liquid Retina Displays can get.
I know how to take a screenshot, but why would I take a screenshot when the spots are on the outside part of the screen? This isn't an internal pixel matter, it's a physical matter that I have to clean off quite often.
@Grant Bennet-Alder My apologies! I forgot I had to convert it to a .PNG file. Here it is.
