    What the blazes! Return the thing and buy something else like a normal person would when they buy something that doesn't live up to expectations!!! Oh yeah, get a life while you are at it!
    Sometimes I am convinced this species is de-evolving...

    "The lawsuit targets the 20-inch "Aluminum iMacs" introduced in August 2007, saying the 24-inch versions are capable of representing millions of colors. "

    The problem isn't that the Screen is substandard MrFred, it's that Apple (and all other screen distributors for that matter) continuously misleads their customers by engaging in false advertising like this.

    I myself bought a screen (not this one, and not an Apple) only to get it home and find out that what was printed on the box was a deliberate, outright lie. Now in my case that particular lie was irrelevant, cause I wouldn't be using the promised feature anyway, but that doesn't matter. They blatantly lied, right on the box (and in the online specs I'll add) in order to try and sell more screens to customers who didn't know any better. That **cannot** be allowed.

    These companies shouldn't be able to get away with crap like this!

    A lot of computer retailers will not accept returns on computers at all. A lot of them will only buy back at a severely reduced rate or charge an outragous restocking fee.

    I would imagine he did try to return it, MrFred. How many more systems must he buy and return before he finds one that does not have deliberate lies on the packaging and on all online doccumentation?

    This is false advertising and paramount to fraud.
