Boot into Safe Mode and try again. That can clear up some issues. Failing that, visual artifacts on an internal display are usually hardware problems and you’ll want to contact the folks at Apple Support and discuss your repair options: contact Apple Support to get more help. On an external display, there can be some other causes of display artifacts.
