Like many others have already mentioned on this thread, I think that's a bit of a misunderstood fact.

You'll be very hard pushed to find any 8-bit displays on any laptops, Apple or otherwise. The...

I was using the angle thing as an example of how to spot what to look for actually, I can see pink blocks looking at it directly, not just at an angle, as could the staff at the Apple store :)

I think overall, about 99% of Macbook Pro users wouldn't be affected - the fact that I managed to come up with an image that shows this problem is a matter of chance.

I did some work today on a...

So I went to the local Apple store today, and I showed them the problem - they were relatively clueless about it. We tried it on various 15" / 17" models in the store, and only the current generation...

It's no artefacts though - even saved out as lossless PNG, or looking directly at the RAW files from the camera, it's the same - if you look at it on any normal display, it's completely white as it...

I went in at lunch time to the Apple store in Regent street, Central London today, but apparently I need to make an appointment before anyone will even look at my mac - first free slot is tomorrow...

I'm doing exactly the same later on today - my "trial" period where I can return it lasts until the 21st of this month I believe, so it'll be interested to see what they have to say.

I can't help...

I've just done a quick photo to demonstrate the lack of colours due to the dithering. I apologise for the quality of the photo, its nearly midnight and I should be getting to bed - I couldnt get the...

Having done a bit further research today, I'd be quite surprised at what you say, and are more inclined in saying that you probably don't know what to look for :)

Since my last posting today, I...

Both images I pasted in my first posting are digital photos, not mock ups :)

When I said it was exagerated, I meant that it shows more when you look at it from angle (like in that photo), and I...
