A retina MacBook Pro owner is gearing up to launch a class action lawsuit against Apple over the ghosting in his computer’s display, according to Law360. The issue broadly affects the high-resolution MacBook Pros and has been ascribed to LG-made panels, versus Samsung ones. The lawsuit accuses Apple of “tricking” customers into buying ghosting screens by not disclosing which computer uses which make of display.

Customers began to notice the temporary burn-in issue almost immediately after the computer’s introduction in June 2012. After an image had been displayed on the IPS panel for some time (10-20 minutes), a ghost of the image would remain after the content of the screen changed, sometimes for minutes, sometimes longer.

After a while, consumers noticed that the issue occurred most often with retina MacBook Pros using panels made by LG. Apple issued a support document on “image persistence” for the notebook’s screens to reduce the effect, but it has not otherwise provided help to customers in avoiding the ghosting screens or in removing from market the computers that use the LG panels that allegedly cause the issue.

The lawsuit has been filed in a federal court in California by Beau Hodges. Hodges states that the two makes of display “exhibit different levels of performance and quality” and Apple is in the wrong for marketing both kinds of retina MacBook Pro as the same product.
