Hi ninatasker,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with your display on your MacBook Pro. We'd like to help.


From what you've described, it sounds like you've done some steps to try and get this issue resolved. Have you booted into macOS Recovery to see if the screen still looks the same? If not, give that a try: About macOS Recovery on Intel-based Mac computers


If you still see the same behavior when in macOS Recovery, the best next step will be to have your Mac evaluated for service. Depending on your region, that can be done at a local Apple Store, an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or a mail-in service. Check out these details for more information about service: Mac Service and Repair If you have additional questions about options in your area, Contact Apple Support will be the best option for you.


Hope that helps!


Take care.
