MacBook Pro screen - lines on side and bottom of screen

My MacBook has colored flickering lines on the bottom and left side of the screen. Any ideas on how to fix this or is this curtains for my laptop?

I suspect it is a hardware issue. A screen shot comes directly from the GPU— so if you do not see the artifact in the screen shot you can suspect a display issue.


Another test would be to plug in an external monitor and compare your results on the external.
