I recently bought a "17 Macbook Pro 2.53 i5 - the one released in 2010 - it was brand new and unopened, but discounted because of the new 2011 models.

However, sometimes the screen messes up - becoming really pixelated in a strange way. Usually when I watch a video on Youtube.

It's either the Intel HD graphic card or the Nvidia Geforce GT 330M, I can make it go away by either restarting or going into System preferences and disable the automatical graphic switch - but shouldn't I be concerned about the issue?

I have tried capturing the error with my iPhone 4.

Note: When I focus in the video (6-7 sec. + 20-22 sec.) the picture becomes even more distorted - but that is in the video - the screen error is only the weird pixelation on the entire screen.

Anyone knows of this issue?
