Apple Being Sued Over Laptop Displays

If there’s even a minor flaw in a product, there’s money to be made by lawyers and PC fanboys. A San Diego filing for a class-action law suit by Fred Greaves and Dave Gatley is the latest legal trouble for the Cupertino company. The lawsuit claims that Apple was marketing Macbook and Macbook Pro displays as if they were god’s gift to mankind. Claims are made that the Macbook Pro displays are too “grainy” and “sparkly” and that Apple uses dithering techniques to achieve higher color depths than actually possible.
Huh? Sounds like a load of rubbish to me. I bought a Macbook a month ago and I’m absolutely in love with it. No problems, screen issues, etc. Greaves and Gatley also claim the Apple Genius Bar associates told them they were “too picky” about the quality of the display, which sounds right on the money. Want insane quality? Go drop $5,000 on a Sony BRAVIA. It’s a laptop for crying out loud.

We bought amost a dozen MacBooks and one some of them the sreens are horrible. Since you think it’s fine for someone to spend the same amount of money and get a sub-par product, please send me the address where I can send one of these to swap out with your pefect screen MacBook.
I thought Mac was supposed to be high end gear? They certainly charge like they are. Are you saying they aren’t as good as Sony?

Actually i agree with the sue-ers that the screens on Macbook’s are horrible compared to what i’ve seen on notebooks with lower prices.
But to sue the company for it is a bit silly, but props if they make money from it lol.
