Display Issues - Green noise Across Chrome browser's viewport

Some websites appear like the attached. I've only noticed this behaviour in Chrome, not other applications. Also, the same websites are rendering fine in Safari.




The issue seems to be displaying on specific websites, but not all website.

The issue always occurs in Chrome's Dev Tools panel.


This is happening on a Macbook Pro 16 2019 with macOS Big Sur, Chrome 87.0.


Reading around it looks like there is happening quite a lot, but there is a disproportionate number of people reporting this who are 16-inch MacBook Pros users.

What you're saying makes sense, Terence. But I am somehow confused considering that:


  • The issue seems to happen only when the MacBook is connected to an external screen;
  • Apple indicated that thet were aware of the issue (if not the same, seems like it's a very similar one) and would have rolled out a fix with macOS Big Sur. Unfortunately, upgrading to Big Sur does not seem to have addressed the issue;
  • Chrome developers have reported that Apple is investigating this;
  • My Macbook is experiencing other issues related to GPU (reported here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252151889).


Things might be unrelated, but as a general user it does make one lose a lot of confidence in Apple.

I think the answer to your question is quite simple. Heard of google? e.g. http://letmegooglethat.com/?q=macbook+alternatives http://letmegooglethat.com/?q=best+2021+laptops and so on.

I wish this glitch was the only issue or at least the most serious of the issues. However, until giving up still happy to try out solutions and perhaps even swapping with one of new latest Macs.


In any case, you're going OT and your questions are not helping solving the question. I’ll update on further developments.
