Apple sued over "inferior" iMac display E-mail

But the real issue is that the panel used in the 20in iMac is visibly inferior to those used in its predecessor and in the 24in model. "Apple is duping its customers into thinking they're buying 'new and improved' when in fact they're getting stuck with 'new and inferior,'" said Brian Kabateck, managing partner at Kabateck Brown Kellner, the firm representing Sanders.

Word of the difference between the two current models in terms of their displays spread rapidly after they were introduced, and I made a point of doing a side-by-side comparison before purchasing. I was planning to buy a 20in iMac, but the apparent quality of the display tipped me towards the 24in.

If the lawyers running the MacBook suit couldn't find enough people who relied on Apple's "millions of colors" description to justify a class action, the iMac suit might meet the same fate. But that doesn't mean this plaintiff can't win, or that Apple won't settle.
