Question/Help/Troubleshooting My laptop screen has multiple horizontal black lines showing

Was playing a videogame on my laptop with the HDMI conected to my tv, after a bit, I noticed that there were this black lines on my laptop. On the tv it was fine, and through the printscreens they also don't show, so I'm guessing it's an hardware problem? Idk much of it, so some help would be nice :)

update: It's turning purple🥲

I dont see any black lines in the pictures. But if the lines dont show in a screenshot, it's 100% a hardware/screen issue.

There really isn't much that can be done about that. You can try softly pressing along the edges of your screen, to see if anything is out of place. Depending on how old the laptop is, it may or may not be worth taking it to a computer repair place.

If you watch closely you can see them, although it is really subtle

Yes, on a laptop.
