Colors distorted after sleep (macOS Sierra)

So I discovered another anomaly. This morning at work, I attached my macbook air to an LCD projector. When it wakes from sleep, the screen of my mac goes haywire too. It also happens when attached to an external monitor. What is going on here????

10.13.2 - Just updated and so far so good! I checked several times and haven't faced any issues yet. I won’t celebrate right now though. Let's give it a few days. Lol. Also, let’s monitor other stuff to ensure nothing else is broken! Oh, Apple!

I was getting similar behavior with 10.13.1 upon wake from sleep or simply by putting display to sleep and on again.

A picture of the boot apple with the progress bar in weird colors for a brief moment.

I was hesitant to re update my personnal MacBook to High Sierra since my downgrade to Sierra for my job (software issues now resolved).

Still good, without any gliches ?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)

Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 Mo

And you see that weird pattern of rectangles for a fraction of second. So basically no artefacts on the main display with the latest update (10.13.2) but still a glitch using external display. We are half way here. And since this is a MacBook Air that doesn’t have a discreet GPU, it seems that the theory that is floating around, hence a AMD or Radeon issue, is not relevant.

Guys My early 2015 macbook pro screen got replaced as some noise was coming when i was shaking the macbook and a fan too got replaced. Installed Sierra and no issues with display as of now. I suggest to downgrade.

I was asking the graphic card since they are several discussions thread in the developpers section stating that this is probably a problem related to those who have computer with anything but Intel Iris card (AMD or Nvidia brand). Apple call those card « discreet GPU » to response to the question previously asked.

But this is not the case since I have myself a Intel Iris only in my MacBook and I was experiencing the wake up glich. However, I did not tested it with a external monitor of some sort.

Thank you for the clarification. Mine is Intel HD Graphics 6000.

So I just spoke with Apple Customer Support. Basically their position is, whatever it is that we see on our screens, it doesn't matter as long as if they diagnose your device and it passes all hardware tests, they will determine that nothing is wrong with your device.

I connected my laptop to an external monitor yesterday at work and checked several times. I did not see any anomalies. But if it's happening with you, then it looks like the issue is still not 100% fixed.

Yes and i am getting frustrated. Called apple support again today and the product specialist just shut me down from the onset. Telling me that my case has been decided by apple already. They are not replacing my MBA. My MBA according to them is within acceptable working condition. They say that if it passes the diagnostics, then nothing is wrong even if i experience all of these things we are talking about. They don’t even acknowledge its a software issue.

I’m not a Apple Tech, but was the problem occuring with Sierra ? Or since the update, have you try to boot un safe mode to see if you still have the issue. Within safe mode, the’re next to nothing in performance but that should give you a pretty good idea if the problem is indeed software or hardware. I’ve tryied that mode in 10.13.1 and beside having everything slow like ****, the wake up glich was not.

Maybe give it a try.

Start your Mac, press and hold the Shift key until you have the login screen. To exit safe mode, just restart.

Thanks @FredericBegin. No worries. yeah, I'm just thinking this glitch may somehow affect the hardware in the long run. I'm no techie either so correct me if I'm wrong. I really do hope this thing is just a glitch and if it's just a glitch then fine with it. as long as my device is physically fine...I'm fine with it. since the glitch on the screen only happens during wake up it doesn't really affect me when working on something.

Hi,

I was having same problem, but my problem seems to be gone when, I change display settings from

Apple Menu > System Preferences > Display > High Scale

I have checked option in the middle between Default and High Scale

Mine is Mid 2015 Macbook pro with retina display and High Sierra is currently installed on it

distorted color on MacBook pro 15" appears after sleep as specs of color on pictures & black background in some cases. I found that shutting down & restarting after 10 min resolves the problem till next awake from sleep.Had ElCapitan b-4 with no issues.

Do you have your display set to scaled for "more space"? So far, this has been a problem for me on every version of Sierra. It was never an issues with Capitan.
