You do know that when purchasing anything Samsung, Samsung increases their revenues right?
That's amazing.

How can we join the Class action?! I want to!
Thanks, I have emailed them.I posted this before in this thread, but for your reference:
"Hi, here is information from the law firm which submitted the class action against Apple:
http://www.siprut.com/news.html#
News from their website:
"Siprut PC has sued Apple Inc. in a lawsuit that accuses the company of tricking consumers into paying premium prices for MacBook Pro computers with shoddy retina display screens manufactured by LG Corp. Although Apple advertises the MacBook's liquid crystal display screens as the best of its kind, some of the computers contain LG screens that suffer from brightness, color and image display flaws while others feature better screens made by Samsung Corp. The lawsuit further alleges the LG screens fail to live up to Apple's marketing claims, and consumers have no way to tell whether a MacBook's screen is made by LG or Samsung until after they purchase the product"
Under the Contact us section you can write them about your issue and the class action. I e-mail them and they gave me a call back, so suggest you do the same."
Wouldn't be surprised if Samsung is behind this. Would be a business strategy that is quite typical for them. Tax evasion, bribery and price fixing - why not a proxy lawsuit to smear two competitors in one go.

Nice article describing what happens to you if you speak up against Samsung in South Korea.
Has anyone figured out how to reach the attorney's office who is behind the suit?
When buying a MacBook Pro Retina display, how can I be sure that the screen is a Samsung screen? Will it say it on the box?
If I call Apple and order a computer, can I ask Apple to sell me a computer with a serial number that indicates it is a Samsung screen?

no

i asked and the said no, you only find out when its fixed to your machine.
Thanks for your help, guys. Can you tell me, "how to run the script" to see what screen it is? I want to go to an Apple store and test it out before I buy a new laptop. Thanks.
yes but i was only able to find out once it had been replaced by running the script. the apple genius didnt know (or didnt let on) that there were different types.Was your replacement screen a Samsung?
Sure !
You need to run this script on Terminal mode, which you will find it on application under utilities:
ioreg -lw0 | grep \"EDID\" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
If it saids LSN = Samsung, if it saids LP = LG
You may experience reluctancy from the store to open the box, run through the setup, and then run the test since if you don't buy it they have to send it back to Apple, but understand a few people have been able to do so and buy an Samsung machine after a few tries. Hope this helps!
That's awesome but I understand that to have 512GB on a rMBP ten you have to order it online. Is that right?

Does anyone know what Apple is going to do about the IR screens? Think they will fix it some time and switch to just Samsung screens?
But do you know what Apple are going to do about the IR?
No. You have to run this in terminal for Macbook screen info.
ioreg -lw0 | grep \"EDID\" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
LP is LG and LSN is Samsung.
