Grey horizontal lines across screen

Sorry if this has already been posted anywhere, but I couldn't see anything. My Samsung S7 Edge upgraded a couple of weeks ago to Android 7.0.

Since then, I have three dark grey horizontal lines across the screen (each about 3mm deep), which are there whatever I'm viewing or have open.

If I screengrab, the lines do not show.

I've tried rebooting and starting up in safe mode, but nothing has made any difference so far.

Has anyone else experienced this?

The phone has not been dropped, mishandled or become wet at any stage.

Thank you for any help!
