I'm not sure if this is normal, but my mac air sometimes has flickers when waking up from sleep. For instance, when I turn on my mac air, for like 1 second, part of the screen flickers.

To describe it more throughly, say I have the dark default background with the Logon window in the center (login screen). when I wake the mac air from sleep, there would be a white flicker(it's very fast so i think it is white) on the top and bottom of the screen while the logon window/middle area would be fine. This happens sometimes on the first "wake up" in the morning. So far in a week, it has only happened like 3-4 times, and each time was for a split second or so.

This isn't that bad of a problem right? I hope it is moreso of a software issue than a hardware one since I have samsung display and samsung ssd, and I don't want to risk changing either.

Has anyone else had this?
