After 1 year of use some permanent, non cleanable marks appeared on my screen. Specially spacebar marks and adjacent areas of the mousepad where the hand stands while typing.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.4
I try to avoid putting pressure on the display when carrying the laptop because there is so little clearance between the display & keyboard. This has always been an issue with Apple laptops even back on the 2012-2015 Retina models and the clearance is even less today. Keep in mind Apple does place a piece of very thin foam/cloth between the display & keyboard when shipping the laptops from the factory even though the laptop is within a very sturdy box. I don't recommend putting anything between the display & keyboard except perhaps the original material Apple used from the factory or you risk cracking the glass and/or LCD panel.
The keys are rubbing the anti-reflective coating from the Display. You can have Apple check the laptop to see if they will do anything. I know that Apple has a secret free repair program available for the older models, but I don't think that program applies to Apple Silicon Macs. Even if the program is valid for Apple Silicon Macs, I don't think the coating is affected enough to even qualify for the program. Apple has some very strict guidelines for determining how bad the anti-reflective coating issue must be especially if it is just the key impressions.
Yes... Same is the case with mine. I see not point of such sleek design when it is sustainable.
Which laptop model do you have?
Macbook Air M2 13”
No official response from any Apple's representative?
What kind of alcohol did you use? Isopropyl?
Same here with my M2 Air purchased just 3 months ago. An issue they've been experiencing for several years now, but no-one seems to really care about. Is there any advice on how to proceed with this?
This MacBook Air 15-inch, M2, 2023 is only 1 month old ... This is extremely depressing.
Same problem with my macbook M2, just 5 months old.
same here, it's so annoying
I have the same issue in my macbook pro 14 inch M1. How can we resolve this issue?
this laptop is really expensive to have such issue in screen.
Did anyone get this fixed or figured out? I have the same issue.

Just found this although it wont help if the damage is done.
NEVER Close Your Macbook Lid Without Doing THIS!
How can a microfiber cloth, that’s is just as soft as toilet paper, crack/damage the screen?
Is this an advertisement? Everytime I want to use my keyboard I need to put this thing on, then take it off, and carry it around with me. That's not a solution. It's a design flaw.
Same on MacBook Pro M2 :(
