Dark spot’s Forerunner 970

Hello everyone, I recently got my Garmin 970, but I’ve noticed some dark spots on the screen. They’re especially visible when I’m in the maps app and scroll beyond the loaded area — the black spots seem to form a kind of line against the grey loading background. Is this normal for a device this expe
