I have an Apple Studio Display 15-inch LCD and when I change resolutions, either through the control strip or from the Monitors and Sound control panel, my screen will either display vertical bars, a checkerboard pattern or go black for a few seconds before displaying the selected resolution. Is this normal?

Yes, this is normal operation for any multiple resolution display. The display will show different video anomalies such as lines, checkerboard patterns, or may go black for a second in order for the video circuitry to switch to the selected resolution.
