Title:

Display issues when lid is fully open

Text:

My macbook has developed an issue where areas of the screen that are solid black are not displaying properly, it’s hard to describe as it’s a bit inconsistent, but for example bold black fonts are hollow and the black screen saver is a weird flickering mess. Only happens when the screen is open past about 20 degrees.
Is this a known issue with a reasonable fix or do I just have to go to the apple store and beg for mercy?

EDIT: Images added. Both are of the same screen only difference is changing the lid position.
