You can plug in an external monitor to test the GPU...
If it is a display issue only it will not effect the external monitor...
If this is Intel Mac—
Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)
If M1 Soc — try SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262 to sort anomalies.
