***that doesn't sound very good does it. I have a few questions for you and also could you post an image for us please?***
* Does this happen during startup sequence or only once on the desktop?
* Does this happen when idling or only when doing anything GPU intensive (hint hint)?
* Does the same happen when plugged into an external display or just the internal one?
* Did you update the OS recently as i've heard some issues with Mac studios (I know it has nothing to do with this i thought i'd bring it up though).
If i were to make a very early diagnosis i'd either say something is loose or something is going/gone bad. But that's the initial. We need to investigate further to have a better idea.

Hey Nick,
+
+
Thanks for the prompt reply! In answer to your questions:
+
+
- the lines are visible during boot sequence
+
+
- lines present when idling/no change based on GPU usage
+
+
- external display shows as normal/no lines
+
+
- no recent updates to OS
+
