On Wednesday, Apple quietly settled a 10-month-old lawsuit regarding its MacBook notebook displays. Though a figure was reached out of court and terms were not disclosed, two California professional photographers files a class-action suit last May claiming they were duped into purchasing MacBook Pro laptops via Apple's claim that the MacBook and MacBook Pro could display millions of colors.

"The displays are only capable of displaying the illusion of millions of colors through the use of a software technique referred to as 'dithering,' " the lawsuit said.

"They made a misrepresentation," said Peter Polischuk, attorney for Greaves and Gatley, referring to Apple. "They have a drop-down menu [in the Mac operating system] that lets you choose to display millions of colors."

According to the Chicago Tribune's Eric 2.0 blog, a clerk in the San Diego County Superior Court notified the press that the suit had been settled. Polischuck said the plaintiffs didn't pursuit it further because it was difficult to find other people who were wronged because they had bought Macs solely based on the "millions of colors" claim.
