My MacBook Air screen looks washed out on the right side

I have owned so many MacBook laptops and this is the first time in 15 years this has happened. I opened my laptop and the right side looks like this!

Looks like a hardware issue, but have you tried rebooting your Mac? A good way to confirm it's a hardware issue is to take a screenshot (Command-Shift-3), and if that looks normal then it's most likely an issue with the display hardware. In that case, your Mac needs service.
