External monitor screen corrupt and flashing
Hey all-
I upgraded to High Sierra last week and ever since I did, my external monitor has become almost unusable. With my 2017 Retina MBP in clamshell mode and a 32" NEC PA322UHD hooked up via a USB-C to DisplayPort cable, the display has went completely wonky.
It’s hard to explain, so I’ll throw in some screenshots. I’m getting all kinds of odd "corruption" patterns all over the screen. The patterns are usually confined to a particular window, and they move WITH that window, including scrolling. You can see the pattern affecting a window behind another window. So it’s not hardware based (well it is, because it only affects an external monitor, not the MBP screen itself; so it could be tied to the GPU). I’m also getting entire screen flashes of color sometimes, in an on off pattern that continues indefinitely unless I interact with the mouse or keyboard. The corruption and flashing is also tied to your input. So the patterns move when you type or scroll sometimes.
Apple Support was of no use. They had me run a hardware diagnostic, then reset the NVRAM and PMC, and then ruled it a High Sierra bug with no beta fix or time table. The issue isn’t listed as a "known issue" either. So basically, I’m screwed.
Anyone else having this? Fixed?
