be a sign for a problem of too much power input of the display. But I only could describe the little damage without the photos.
I send the photos to my dealer and they say thats not a problem, the clicking plug in sound is normal and the very little surface damage maybe only cosmetic.
So it seems it is no real problem. The only thing which is not so clear is this little surface damage.
You can focus on this, or can focus on using your Mac and your display for what you bought it for.
Your choice.
I’m still mildly surprised you’re even yanking plugs. Most Mac and most display plugs get plugged in when purchased, the plug at the wall end socket might get unplugged a few times for moves, but the chassis end only gets unplugged when decommissioning the Mac or the display or when the cord is damaged.
Borrow or acquire a toddler, or a pet rabbit, if you want plug or cord damage. 🤪
