M1 mac mini displaly issues

I have an M1 Mac mini and am experiencing little pink and green rectangle artifacting on my display on boot up just on the boot menu and sometimes for a couple of minutes after booting, they don't go on top of other windows, like say I open Safari they disappear then when I exit it they will reappear until they just disappear on their own, that leads me to believe it is not a hardware issue and I read that Apple is aware of this issue on M1 Macs but I'm just wondering how many others experience this.

Mac mini, macOS 11.1

I fixed the problem by buying a new Samsung 27 inch curved Full HD monitor and used the included 1 meter HDMI cable, absolutely no artifacting now, very relieved. I absolutely love the M1 Mac mini, it is a dang powerhouse of a computer.

I have read a lot of other people having the same issue on different sites and Apple said they are working on a display issue with all the new M1 Mac's, they stated the same problem I had, read that on a computer news site. It really doesn't seem to be hardware because if it was it wouldn't just appear on the login screen and for a couple minutes after booting but not appearing when you open apps and full screen them, even not appearing when its windowed. I'm hoping the issue gets fixed with 11.2.
