Graphics Issue: 2016 MacBook Pro 13" w/ Touch Bar

I have returned 3 !!!! For this exact issue!!!

My fourth one is a day old and fine so far. Have not installed anything extra yet.

Each time I return one the Genius Bar staff never seen it etc. wish they would find out the problem very unusual for apple.

I have the same problem. I bought the new MacBook Pro 13' with touchbar (8gb and 256gb of storage) and the display is like flashing at the start. This problem last for few seconds (10/20) but it's very annoying. I also tried the NVRAM reset but it didn't work. any idea how to fix the problem? should we wait for a new OSx release???

I have the same problem, but mines like multicolored spazzy thing happening on the screen after the computer is in sleep. Also there's flickering when I'm watching videos. I'm taking it to the apple store tomorrow because this is the second laptop in last two months this has happened to ( the first one I returned and they gave me the new macbook pro 2015 w/ no touch bar). IT'S SO FRUSTRATING because you're paying so much money and stuff like this happens. I guess first world problems.

I am on my 4th FOURTH new MacBook Pro 1 without touch bar and 3 with touchbar. Display very pixelated weird colors on wake up. Very frustrating. Don't know if I should take the 4th one back or not. Apple called me this week trying to return call. Been playing phone tag. Will see what they say

I had the pixelated login display for 5 - 10 seconds after waking my 13" MacBook from overnight sleep using the 1280 X 800 resolution setting. This problem was resolved by upgrading to Sierra 10.12.3.

Hi, I have the same problem. It is also my second MBP and the problem stayed the same after getting the new one. Have discovered that the problem disappears if you put the ppt file in 16:9 mode. The 4:3 format is causing the issues. Hope for an update by Apple!!!

A student at my school told me that she had the same problem, but it flickers black when open slideshow in fullscreen. She already updated updated the operating system to the latest version.

I'm not a mac user so I don't know if is hardware and software problem. I told her to go to the warrenty.

In my case I took my MBP to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. We updated the OS there together an it resolved the problem. It's now been about a day and the problem is still gone. Confidence is building the problem is resolved, the conclusion is the problem was either software of firmware as the update to 10.12.4 was clearly a major one as it took about 30 minutes to install.

I'm having the same issue. Started having problem after updating to 10.12.15 OS Sierra Update. I updated to the latest version 10.12.16 but still not resolved. Bought the macbook just a month ago. Its really frustrating.

Make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for service. If needed find an Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple. This may just be a problem with your computer. Return it then replace it and check if the problem occurs in the replacement.

This is a user forum, so we cannot help you with this issue nor will posting it here be of much help since Apple does not read these forums. Best to return and replace it. You have 14 days from date of purchase to replace it or get your money back no questions asked.

I had a very similar problem with my new 13" MBP (without the TouchBar).. here is the thread along with a screenshot of what mine looked like: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7771647

I brought it to the Apple store and they acknowledged the graphics issue and let me exchange the system.. I decided to exchange it for a new 15" MBP "Silver" (the 2015 model) since I prefer the "regular" keyboard on that model anyway (I never got used to the "butterfly" keyboard). Anyway just wanted to share that Apple let me exchange my system due to the graphics issue. Also have a look at this article with other users reporting similar issues with the new MBP's: http://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/02/new-macbook-pro-graphics-issues/

Hope this helps.

Similar issue here with 13" with touch bar. It happens only at startup for a few seconds and goes away.

By the way, this is my second laptop (I returned the first one because it had the same exact problem).

According to this article, the graphics issues are OS X related and not hardware related (which is good news). Apparently, the up-comming OS X 10.12.2 update will fix the issues: http://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/07/macbook-pro-graphics-issues-email/

I have the same flashing pixels problem at startup on my new 13 inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. The problem seems to be worse when the laptop is "cold". I love my MacBook Pro so I hope the problem will be solved with the new MacOS release.
