Your Screen is Apparently Failing:
From what you have reported, your screen is apparently failing. It may be a glitch, or a hardware error. So how have you troubleshot this, this far, yourself?
A Bit of a Story:
My 2027 MBP’s screen failed after High Sierra was installed. This occurred during the years of COVID. I had to send it in via mail for service; all time of which it wailed to operate. So, being so patient of a customer, Apple fondly granted me a free $2.5 USD upgrade, for no more than the cost of 4 years AppleCare —not problems since.
What to Try:
- Take a Screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support. See if you still get this error. Open it on another device, seeing if the lines are still there
- Create a New User, seeing if you still get this error.
- Connect an External Monitor. If you do not have an HDMI port, then use this adapter: Belkin USB-C to HDMI Adapter - Apple
Perhaps this is a Faulty Device?:
How old is this Mac? Note that you have a one-year, out-of-the-box, limited-warranty with this. So, if it is covered under warranty, then see if you can get the screen replaced. Being faulty, it likely would be nothing on you. Ask Apple Support for a new screen.
