Occasionally, I will get these vertical lines going down my screen and some flicker. I’ve had this problem with a thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable and an HDMI to HDMI cable. I also highly doubt it’s a monitor problem because it’s been working flawlessly in Linux and before that Windows.

Has anyone else experienced this? I also saw that Sequoia 15.1 released, not sure if this is a problem that Apple knows about that’s fixed in the new version. Really hoping it’s not a hardware issue with my unit.

Edit: it seems to be a monitor issue? I switched my second, identical display to be my first and didn't see the issue after a couple hours of usage. But now I've started using that first monitor again as my second monitor and it hasn't had any corruption issues yet.

Don’t want to send up a flare unnecessarily, but I used to see that patterning on machines with dead logic boards.

My last 17” MBP did that shortly before the board died completely & left me s.o.l. If you’re still under warranty or AC, maybe worth getting it checked?

I am not certain if this would be an issue with M-Series machines. If anyone knows for sure, I’d appreciate any info.

Brand new Mac Mini, just came out today. It has a full year of warranty left.

It could be a factory defect
