Help! Вlack squares on macbook screen

On the macbook screen periodically appear for literally 0.1 second black squares.


They have different sizes and positions each

time, but the bottom line is that they are huge black squares, such

as when disconnecting a cable or something similar.


That is, just half of the screen becomes as if off for a split second.

This causes discomfort. It happens that this happens once a week,

but today they appeared about 10 times in the evening.


Help who has come across a similar one. Am I really lucky enough

to have a third macbook with the same defect?


p.s. the screenshot was taken in photoshop, because it is impossible to screen it, so I do not know if this is a hardware or software problem
