Static on MacBook Pro Screen (mid 2015)

I awoke to my MacBook freaking out and not displaying the screen, but rather multicolored, horizontal, noise. I have reset it multiple times but the issue comes back with variants of colorful screens, along with vertical lines this time. I don't use any displays or external tools with this computer, it is bone stock.

Glitching Screen with Certain Angles Hi, I have a MacBook Pro 2019. I was using my mac when all of a sudden the screen randomly starts glitching with purple and green lines. It was working before and it randomly started to happen. I realized when my screen is at a certain angle it completely stops. When I put the screen back more, it starts up again. Why is this happening?

Static screen when opening MacBook Pro This has happened twice now and it is a little annoying however i am more worried about possible hardware defects than annoyances. When i open up my MacBook Pro 2020 13" base model. It comes up with a static screen, i have attached a photo and it only happens on the main display, not the touchbar. it is fixed by a simple hold power button to force shut down and it works fine after booting again. This is completely random so i feel going to an apple store could be pointless as it would be hard for them to find out whats going on without them seeing the issue first hand. I have contacted Apple and they said basic stuff like resetting the SMC and NVRAM and it has not happened again after that but it has only happened twice in total and they where both weeks apart? what should i do? is this a known problem? Thanks in advanced for any help.

Try booting into Safe Mode.

Does an external display show the same issue?

Does it also happen when you hold the Option key just after powering on the laptop to access the Apple boot picker menu?

Does moving the display change what is displayed in any manner?
