Hi Community,
My entire screen has started showing up with these thin grey horizontal lines. It is prominent on white pages. Any ideas why and what I can do about it?

Hi jch1u,
Do you notice this on any website you visit or on this specific page? Do you see it in any other app? Confirming this information will help with isolating the issue a but further.

Hope that helps!
Brought it in for repair. They installed a new display and it's fixed now. Asked them if they knew the problem, but they say it's just bad luck. They've never seen it before on these Macbook's..
Hello jch1u,
If you're noticing that appearing all the time, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support to look in to that further and see what options you have.

Hi Trish313,
I notice it all the time (no matter what page is open).
I have tried restarting it but it is still visible :(
I'm experiencing the same issue with my MacBook Air M2 since last week. Went to the shop and have to bring it in for check-up.
I am so sorry to hear that you are experiencing it as well. Please tell me how it goes!
