Umm this is NOT ridiculous. Go look up a true 8-bit LCD professional graphics series panel which usually sells for well over $1000 compared to a 6-bit consumer model which might sell for a mere $200. By advertising they had millions of colors means they’re suppose to have an ultra-high end 8-bit panel which can actually display these colors but they didn’t. They have a much cheaper 6-bit panel in place.

It would be like a company advertising this computer has a 500mhz CPU when in reality it’s like 450mhz. Sure most people won’t notice the difference but professionals pushing the limits will.

Disappointing for a company like Apple which traditionally specializes in professional graphics to fudge the specs like that.

I hope “settled” means that those two idiots were dragged into the street and shot. This is ridiculous. I think I’ll go sue Bic because my pen isn’t blue enough.
