horizontal artefacts in MacBook screen

[s4z0r]

Hi,

Depending on the window or website I visit, these horizontal lines show up in the screen. I've uploaded a 30s GIF trying to demonstrate the issue. https://i.imgur.com/QUDYX90.gifv

It looks like those horizontal lines are part of that one video.

OP,
I looked at the same website and didn't get the results you did. What you showed is not normal.

Not normal. What year is your machine and what, if any, warranty did you purchase?

Hi, it's an old MacBook - it's definitely not under warranty. I'd like to know if anyone has ever seen this issue and what it could be - so I can see if fixing it is viable.

It doesn't look like dead pixels.

It's hard to know without looking if it's a problem with the display, the board, or a cable connecting the two. The cable is the most likely culprit. Your options are either to deal with it, or pay to have it fixed. There are many certified and non-certified repair options out there.
