M1 Max display problem

I've owned this 16 inch MacBook Pro for only two weeks. On several occasions the display suddenly gets scrambled. I've not found any pattern to the behaviour and it usually goes away by refreshing the screen in simple ways such as closing and opening a window. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this too? Thank you.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.0

2020 M1 MacBook Air display issue I opened up my computer this morning to my screen having a bunch of weird horizontal and vertical lines, leaving images on the screen even when switched to a different view, and some areas shaded more white than others. The photo is static but the lines are spazzing out in a rhythmic dance. I've been having off and on display problems for the past 8 months but every time I put the machine to sleep and they went away, never have have I had anything like this. I have restarted the machine, let it sit for a few hours and then restarted it. I have updated to the lastest version of Mac Os. Any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it? Or should I take it in to the Apple Store?

Weird and a bit annoying display flickering while MacBook Pro M1 14' being turned on I've got a weird display flickering, for many times when the laptop is turning on it adjusts the contrast or something with brightness, blacks out several times and when it's ready (turned on after password - everything is loaded at that point) after a while monitor blacks out for a while again I can't see any problem while working. Only when it starts up. On my previous lapton MacBook Pro 13 Intel i5 I never noticed such kind of thing happening for years. I tried to find something on the internet but apparantly I can't reset neither NVRam nor SMC with my M1 chip Maybe you could give any hints on how I can conquer that flickering or that's ok for all new MacBooks?

Hi,

You'd better make Genius Bar reservation if your local retail AppleStore is open or find opened local Apple Authorized Service Provider to be examined your MacBook Pro there.
