New gaming laptop screen flashing vertical lines, random colors, static and right half of the screen is black, this does occur the second it powers on i have tried safe mode and the model is asus tuf fx504

Edit : I fixed the issue by moving a cable a bit but now the left side of the screen is slightly brighter and i can see it flickering
 
If this is a new device, then I would take it back and have them replace it with a working one. No new device should give you issues.
