Black horizontal lines on iMac M1 Ventura

Hello, I see black horizontal lines on display iMac M1 2021 Ventura ( 18 months from purchase , 6 months out of warranty). Factory reset done but issue persists. Its out of warranty so have to bear the massive repair expenses of changing the display but I also hear that Apple conducts repair camps if the issue is pervasive and related to product ( as against usage). Are we expecting any repair camps for M1s ? Its hard to believe that a top of the line product like M1 has a life of only 18 months.

Having the same issue. So far I've taken my iMac to the apple Service center as suggested from the first contact the apple support. They did determine it was an issue with the display and I showed them all the details from this forum that it's a manufacture defect. The manger at the apple store told me to contact tier 2 support for an approval code which I called but they were of no help even explaining the issue and the numerous amount of iMac M1 owners having this issue. The thing is some people have received the approval code and have had their iMac screen replaced even though it was just out of the warranty. So I don't understand this, some get fixed and some don't. I'm still trying to get some result to this manufacturers defect.
