Apple’s Turn In The Barrel: Being Sued For Alleged Faulty Display

A couple of guys in California have filed a lawsuit in Superior Court stating that they and others are not happy campers about what they allege is misleading display calculations for their Apple MacBooks. But is Apple the only one who may be cheating?

Here is what the alleged complaint claims. The complainers say that in order for a display to produce ‘millions of colors’ you need to use, or should use, an 8 bit LCD. They conclude that Apple uses a 6 bit LCD and ‘dithering’ software to fool the eye into thinking it is millions and not thousands of colors, which could be the case.

This actually came about because some users complained that their displays appeared to them as being ‘grainy.’ Complaints to Apple were not addressed and the eagle-eyed users were not overly satisfied with Apple’s response, which in some cases included a refund offer. To me, that sounds extremely fair, but it appears it wasn’t satisfactory for some.

This is why the majority of the world uses PCs and not Macs. Macs are inferior products for which users overpay with no added benefit. Apple has sold these people a bill of goods who only find out afterwards they have purchased a cheap product with overall inferior parts. I wouldn’t even use an Apple product if it was given to me! I’M JUST JOKING, MACHEADS!

It is just nice to reverse the tables once in a while and bust your chops.:-) Us PC users expect a grainy display and we can’t tell the difference between ‘dithered’ or ‘withered’ and are just happy when our computers start up. LOL.
