Apple Sued Over Macbook Display
By: Priyanka Pradhan   |   May 22,2007
Apple Inc has been slapped with a lawsuit in California for making false claims about MacBook and MacBook Pro displays.

While Apple claims its notebook displays support "millions of colors" and offer views "simply unavailable on other portables," plaintiffs say the screens are prone to flaws such as grainy or sparkly image quality, banding in gradients, and other visual flaws. Moreover, the lawsuit claims that when users called the company to complain about these defects, either in person or in writing, they were put off by the company, being told that they were being too picky or were imagining the defects.

The company is also charged with violating the Unfair Competition Law and the Consumer Legal Remedies Act with its failure to address and rectify the situation. The two Californians, Fred Greaves and Dave Gatley who filed the suit want to stop Apple and the other defendants from continuing to represent the computers as being capable of displaying millions of colors. They also seek damages representing the difference between the price paid for the computers and their actual worth, the loss of professional productivity, other forms of damages and costs.

Actually...I was pretty disappointed in my MacBook display and am one of the "silent sufferers"...Interesting to see that others have been complaining... Apple should fix the problem as the quality is poor...

Ahaha, thats rediculous. What will the lawyers think up next: "Apple Sued Over Macbook DVD burner: "No, it's not burning 16x, its burning 15x, and I got ripped off...""
