Vertical Lines on Display

My MacBook Pro 2019 has suddenly gotten colored vertical lines on the right side of the display and a horizontal line on the bottom the display. Does anyone have any idea as to if there’s a quick fix?

Vertical / Horizontal lines are almost always an indication of a failing display. Occasionally, one may get lucky and have it fixed by a SMC reset or a macOS reinstallation. You can try and reset the SMC as indicated here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then I recommend that you take advantage of the Apple 1YR Limited Warranty if your MacBook Pro is less than a year old.
