Apple, this is a shocker from you. My precious Apple is going down like the rest of the corporations that have false advertisements. Originally, I didn’t hear of the lawsuit filed against you in May in 2007. Here is how Jacqui Cheng states the situation:

The plaintiffs, Fred Greaves and Dave Gatley, originally brought the suit against Apple in May of 2007, alleging that Apple’s displays were “grainy” and “sparkly,” and that some customers had observed banding (when the display shows you bands of different shades when it is supposed to display a smooth gradient). Their proof, aside from their own observations, were pages of printed discussion threads from Apple’s support forums. The lawsuit alleged that customers who complained about the displays were allegedly told that they were being too picky or that they were imagining the problems.

Apple, I would have never expected something like this from you. I thought you were different from the rest of the evil corporations.  You have let me down. But enough of my rant.  Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. Apparently, they used dithering to attempt to acheive what the advertisements actually say. Along with their observations (the people who filed the lawsuits), they used forum discussions to support their case. As many lawsuits are, the agreements were undisclosed. This type of deceptive advertising seems pretty low on a corporate standard. I better watch for you Apple.
