When I wake up my mac from sleep, the screen glitches and displays static, but it's only a flash (0.5 seconds). I've seen posts about this happening in macbook pro as well, after we've updated to High Sierra. I've seen examples about screens with weird colors, but in my case is just a greyish static. This lasts for only a few seconds.
MacBook Air, High Sierra Version 10.13.4
What fixed this was resetting the PRAM or NVRAM by following these instructions.

I had migrated my MacBook Air 13" to the new MacBookPro 15" and the screen was trying to be a MacBook Air.
Also, I had to search to figure out how to change the computer's name - it's under Sharing in System Preferences.
Ok, that *****.
My situation was migrating from one machine to another, and the new machine acting like it was the old machine. Were you starting from scratch with this machine?
Yes I have the very same glitch like the one posted in the thread..
Just bought my macbook pro13 2017 touchbar 2days ago.. any solution ?
Same with me. Also there is burning smell from keyboard. When I contacted them they said its normal for new PCs.
The exact same static screen thing has been happening to my MacBook Pro every time I wake the screen up
Me too. I really hope theres a solution to this because this static screen is sort of driving me insane, it happens almost every time
I have the same problem. Wakes up from nap and status bar flashes in background. I have heard from so many people not to upgrade. Wish I hadn't.
What will it take to get Apple's attention? How many complaints will it take? I feel exactly the same way about not upgrading...
This seems to be a different problem you are addressed. What I get, and it sounds like most people get, is moving screen static, not a static image.
I haven't had the static on waking with Mojave. But there was static on secondary monitor and have to re-connect before static goes away. But had that problem with Sierra too.
Hi, I have this problem too. I have a pro and I think it only happened after I updated to 10.13.6. Any reply from Apple?
same problem, early-2013 with Mojave, any answers yet?
Same issue. Been going on before 10.14.
Have a MacBook and a 13” non smart bar 2017 MacBook Pro doing the flickering. I see no purple colors and stuff just the screen cutting on and off.
The static screen on start up has stopped on my 2017 12" Mac. But other problems such as inconsistent keys and static screen on the secondary monitor when on first start (have to reconnect HDMI for static to stop), has taken away the allure of the Mac. Hard to move away from Mac because of things like iMessage, mail, air drop and Numbers unique to Mac, but disappointed in Apple's failure to maintain basic functionality -- they can't say it just works. For work, I've had to use the pre-2018 MacBook Air, and it had the static screen on start.
That doesn't work.
