Apple sued for failures in some MacBook Pro displays with Retina display

Apple just released an update that fixes some problems with MacBooks Pro with Retina display, but one of them continues to bother certain users: burn-in. The name is given for the effect that appears when an image is shown for a long time on a screen, thus leaving a mark. Plasma televisions – and some LCD TVs -, for example, suffered a lot from this. And, as we already talked about here MacMagazine, some Retina display MBPs equipped with LG displays also face the problem – apparently some from Samsung have the flaw, but in far less quantity than those from LG.

The video below shows the problem well:

According to Law360, Beau Hodges was very upset about this and went further, opening a class action lawsuit against Apple in California. He claims that consumers have no way of knowing, at the time of purchase, which MacBooks Pro use LG displays. Hodges seeks unspecified damages for everyone who purchased these MacBooks Pro.

Unlike the little window problem, this cannot be fixed by a simple software update. If you have a MacBook Pro with this flaw, the way is to seek assistance and try to change the screen – preferably while the machine is still under warranty! ?
