Help please, I have attached a picture of what my screen is doing! I've googled and tried everything suggested I found.
Any idea what's wrong and a possible solution. Thank you in advance.

Assuming that this also occurs if you boot into safe mode, login as another user, or after you reinstall the OS (after making multiple backups of course) it looks like a hardware problem.

That's what I was afraid of. I have tried everything software and settings related I could find online that may have fixed the issue. Thank you for your reply.

Should be a hardware issue.

Youre in the wrong forum btw, this is the desktop Mac Pro forum.

Issues: The LCD panel got a bad contact point to its control board. Some dead components, too.
Repair method:
Hardcore Expert level: clean the bad contact point, re-attach the LCD control board, check and replace/disconnect the bad components.
Normal Expert level: Replace the LCD panel with same OEM parts, or old parts salvaged from dead MBP.
Poor user level: Cut off the LCD panel and use external monitor.
Rich user level: Replace the MBP.
