Occasionally, I will get these vertical lines going down my screen and some flicker. I’ve had this problem with a thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable and an HDMI to HDMI cable. I also highly doubt it’s a monitor problem because it’s been working flawlessly in Linux and before that Windows.

Has anyone else experienced this? I also saw that Sequoia 15.1 released, not sure if this is a problem that Apple knows about that’s fixed in the new version. Really hoping it’s not a hardware issue with my unit.

Edit: it seems to be a monitor issue? I switched my second, identical display to be my first and didn’t see the issue after a couple hours of usage. But now I’ve started using that first monitor again as my second monitor and it hasn’t had any corruption issues yet.

    I have an M3 Max that does this, but only when I plug in two monitors at once over Thunderbolt. It doesn’t always happen either, haven’t figured out exactly what is causing it. I know my M1 is only capable of a single external monitor, so part of my suspects their multi monitor support is just poorly implemented over the latest TB spec.

    Using M1 with a thunderbolt dock doesn’t do it, so I know it’s not the monitor. Plus switching out one monitor for another doesn’t fix it.

    In the past to debug this problem I’ve used BetterDisplay
