Bottom of 2021 Macbook Pro screen flickering out of the box

I just received my brand new MacBook Pro today. I bought it for traveling this month and I'm being devastated that it arrived broken. There are black strobe-like lines across approximately an inch of the bottom of the screen; completely blotting out the dock. I had to move the dock to the right side just to see my apps. When the dock was at the bottom, a line moved across marking the movement across the apps underneath. Very strange.


MacBook, macOS 11.6

I agree. Right out of the box and you are having a display issue. Not a delightful experience.

Hopefully you are planning to get it exchanged within 14 days after your MacBook Pro was delivered. Get it exchanged and begin enjoying your MacBook Pro as it was intended to.

If you have not begun the return/exchange process, then you can do so by contacting ➡️ Apple Support
