Apple has settled out of court on a 10-month old lawsuit over its displays and the number of colors it can/can’t display.
Two California-based professional photographers (Fred Greaves and Dave Gatley) filed a class-action back in May, saying they were tricked into buying some MacBook Pros because of the claim that they would display millions of colors.
The lawsuit noted:
“The displays are only capable of displaying the illusion of millions of colors through the use of a software technique referred to as ‘dithering’ “
According to the photographers’ attorney Peter Polischuk:
“They made a misrepresentation…They have a drop-down menu [in the Mac operating system] that lets you choose to display millions of colors.”
A clerk at the San Diego County Superior Court has said that Polischuk had called to say the suit has been settled. The plaintiffs decided not to pursue further because it was difficult to find other people that were ‘wronged’ for the same reason.
Another frivolous lawsuit draws to an end… Super!
