Yes.... I do two restart never go away...... I check around is not just me, quite a few users also mention Suddenly these lines appear after one or two years using it. Do note I never play games , Only just watch youtube videos and Stream. I doubt it will overheat my iMac GPU. DAM......
Update, I even shut down and see , Dam seem like line is there.... while in black screen loading up. I see the line slightly white...
See if Apple Diagnostics will tell you anything.

No need to run. If I restart , or shut down , turn on again the line gone perhaps some " glitch " maybe memory or whatever. Partly I never shut down my iMac. I always let it sleep. In fact iMac I do read before no need to shut down. Sleep mode all along is ok in fact. All along is ok. Just now as per normal I wake up the iMac and see those lines appear at the bottom.... DAM I never expect new iMac like this... I do have another iMac but is Old. The screen is pinkish at the side which is Normal when used for years for that early 2000 iMac.
I still cannot accept, my heart like...... i Love to use Apple products. My old imac is beside this current new iMac happen got lines Suddenly.... the old iMac is early 2000. got burn mark and pinkish hue but is due to Nature aging and sometimes it will gone. But for this lines suddenly pop out on my new iMac only bought in the year 2024... is Perm there... I don't know what next suddenly one day half of the screen got lines... Now i see the lines kinda flicker a bit some lines like gone while flicker but back.
yeah....and others " quite a lot " https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...horizontal-lines-appearing-on-screen.2438806/
M1 users. AND i check there are others M3 users also encounter this defect suddenly....
I check under Apple icon there , they will show it is still under warranty etc. Is already Expire...
No use... I been searching here even check out any from Singapore. I do happen to see some Singapore user also encounter this problem, go Apple Store. They just mention pay to get fix since warranty is over.. I check more in Apple Official community support a lot M1 to M3 users also claim suddenly these lines just appear after one , 2 years of usage...
It’s ridiculous manufacturers/retailers only have to offer a one year warranty service.
I’m sorry for the situation you’re in OP.
I don’t know what else to say, I would be between furious and sad if I was in your shoes.

I agree, take it to the apple store and sometimes they will bend the rules to get it fixed
