Screen flickered once and red pixels appeared in place of black color. I connected to an external monitor through VGA and to TV through HDMI, both external displays are fine. Even lenovo logo at start up and bios menu has this problem.Next morning I turned on the laptop it was fine and then afternoon problem appeared again after gaming. I took screenshots with print screen and viewed it on phone they are fine. I dont know what the problem is exactly. Screen, cable, gpu port which connects the screen....?

Also, every morning the screen will be fine again, I can even use it for normal tasks for long periods without any issue but If I play a game for 1-2 hours or more the screen problem will reappear and I have to wait until next morning.

screenshots took using printscreen and phone camera when screen problem reappeared

Solution
First and cheapest thing to check is the cables gong to the screen. If re-seating them did not help, you are probably looking at a screen swap.
