MacBook Pro 2022 M2 13 Inch - Bar Line Issue

I am a MacBook Pro 2022 M2 13 Inch user and I've recently noticed a bar line appearing on my screen. This line seems to be persistent and I am concerned about its cause and potential impact on my device's performance.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue with their MacBook Pro 2022 M2 13 Inch? If so, how did you resolve it? I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to address this bar line problem effectively.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Vertical artifacts are typically a problem with the display itself.


You can try plugging in an external monitor and compare your results..

External comes from the GPU directly and bypasses the internal Display—this would be telling test by comparision


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"
