Hello,
Recently my Macbook Pro 2016 (with touchbar) has developed this shadow band across the bottom of the display. Does anyone know what is wrong or how I can fix it?
I have tried resetting the NVRAM and the SMC but that has not fixed it.
Pic for reference:
Thank you.

To trouble shoot further you can:
Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches, dynamic loader cache, etc. get cleared and rebuilt.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
Thank you for your response, unfortunately though the issue is still there.
It's always visible even while the laptop is restarting.
I do noticed that the "shadow" retains images behind it after being over them for a period of time (eg. the dock, or web pages).
