You do not say what exact Mac /model /year /size /retina /TouchBar is this

or

what exact macOS you are currently running?



Looks like the start of a projector cable issue... I suspect it will get worse.

Oops, My MacBook Pro is 13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports and its currently running on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6.

This problem did get worsen after my post, there are really light lines on the top of my screen now and the black fades on the bottom flickers.

Also, it fades out in a purple greenish colour and there is like 'leftover footages' from pervious frames as you can see on the images. (photo shop and AI icon)


Personally, I think is could be a screen burn, but I'm not sure.
