MacBook Pro 2019 screen colouring issues

I own a 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch running Mac OS Tahoe 26.0.1 and today I noticed smth very off about my screen, there was a slight discolouration in the display for some random reason any white image on the screen looks to be in a pinkish shade I thought a simple restart can fix it but oh boy I was Wrong it started flickering shortly afterwards (which stopped after I switched from the intel integrated graphics to the amd radeon ) ,then started the burn in on the display ,it is visible during start-up too , but when I enter safe mode none of these issues are present ) I left it at the safe mode but even after it once I do load into Mac the burn in keeps getting worse its very distracting ,just wanted to ask any fellow community members to any recommend fixes I can try as this issue happened like 5 -10 mins of me using it today
