Welcome to the Allen v. Apple Class Action Settlement Administration website.

If you purchased an Apple 17-inch LCD Studio Display monitor (the “Display”), you could be entitled to benefits under a class action settlement.  Based on your purchase, you are automatically a member of the Settlement Class and are automatically included in the settlement unless your valid request for exclusion was mailed to Class Counsel postmarked on or before January 19, 2007.

To qualify for settlement benefits, you must be a United States resident who purchased in the United States a new Apple 17-inch LCD Studio Display monitor and have already paid or will pay in the future for a repair covered by the settlement.  The Apple 17-inch LCD Studio Display monitor was sold beginning in May 2001. 

The lawsuit claimed that the inverter board of the Display was faulty, causing the gradient dimming of the top or bottom half of the screen of the Display and a power light to constantly blink on and off in a short-short-long pattern to signal a problem.  Apple denies all allegations and has asserted many defenses.  The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that any law was violated.
