MacBook Pro 2019 screen issues - Color distortion, vertical bars, and flickering

I have a 13" 2019 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and Retina display, purchased at the end of 2019 (less than 2 years ago).

A few weeks ago I'v noticed the following on its screen:

Vertical bars from top to bottom.

Color distortion, especially with the red spectrum.

Flickering.

The above is not visible on white background and black letters (for example, when composing a regular document with "Pages").


I've tried all "regular" solutions like Safe Mode, change user, etc. I've also completely formatted the computer - Nothing helped and the above still exist.

What else can I do in order to fix these problems?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5
