Maybe I will be able to get a damaged unit and do a display swap.
Given that the screen is plastic, chances are much greater that you won't be able to find a device that has just a broken screen.

Do you live in a place with longer statutory warranties, like Australia, or did you buy it on a credit card with an automatic extended warranty?

Can you take it out of dark mode so we can see the lines better?

The OP posted the image; Mr. Neitzsche has a similar problem over a year later.

My thought was that he picture was of the "Connected" screen which is always "dark mode". And I have similar lines on the Forma my wife was using. They show up much better on the mainly black screen.

I had a similar problem. My screen showed vertical and horizontal lines, however not consistently over the whole screen but rather half or parts. Firstly, I thought it was a driver image problem but as I opened the back and just moved the screen connection cable the problem got solved. So I guess just a bad connection.
