I just bought a 2019 Mackbook pro 13" running 10.14.6 and I noticed pretty much right away that every once in a little while the bottom portion of the screen will do a really fast flicker. It'll do it only one time and it kinda happens at random. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know what could be causing it? I updated it just to see if maybe that would help but it still seems to be having the same issue. Any help would be much appreciated.
I just purchased a
mid-2019 MacBook Pro (MacBookPro15,2)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Model A1989, Product Z0WQ
16GB RAM 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 1536 MB
MacOS Mojave 10.14.6, Dark Mode
I too have a similar issue. My flashing/glitch is towards the bottom of the screen like yours but only shows up for 0.5s or less.. and is usually bright magenta or green. I cannot intentionally replicate the issue, it just seems to happen randomly or at least when I have several applications running for school.. ie Word, PowerPoint, Safari (multiple windows each with multiple tabs), iCal, Mail..etc.
From what I have read, the issue might be related to the computer's sleep/awake settings and or the auto dim settings. I haven't had any issue after performing the following steps
1) Reset the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
2) Reset the NVRAM/PRAM https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063
3) Turn off "Automatically adjust brightness" and "True Tone"(System Preferences > Displays > Uncheck these options)
4) Turn off "Night Shift"
5) Turn display off after 15 minutes. (System Preferences > Energy Saver > Battery > Turn display off after 15min)
No idea which one actually solved the issue but hope this helps.

Hello ShaneKB,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like there is flickering at the bottom of the MacBook Pro, and I would be happy to help.
Here are some suggestions to look into where the issue might be happening:
If you're still having issues, it might be related to hardware. Here are the options for service on Mac: Mac repair - Official Apple Support
Best regards.
Try to Turn off "Automatically adjust brightness" and "True Tone"(System Preferences > Displays > Uncheck these options)
(that’s what worked for me)
4) Turn off "Night Shift"
5) Turn display off after 15 minutes. (System Preferences > Energy Saver > Battery > Turn display off after 15min)
Really appreciate the info! I did each one of these one by one and nothing seemed to fix the issue until I turned off both Auto Adjust Brightness and True Tone!
what if all this was done including having taken it in to the genius bar...........twice. no able to replicate and sent it back with no fix.......still flckers
