Apple MacBook Pro users are steaming over an issue related to distortion on their external large-screen displays and their perception that Apple is ignoring the issue.
Problems with display distortion, which seem to be related to Apple's Mini-DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter have surfaced since the unibody aluminum-made MacBook Pro was introduced, the Web site techtree.com reported Wednesday.
Apple has tried to address the issue with a firmware update to the adapter, but the issues are continuing, according to MacBook Pro users on an Apple support discussion forum.
Users on another discussion thread specific to the dual-link display have complained that the updated firmware can make the problem even worse.
The distortion, complaints about which started in late December, comes in the form of an occasionally fuzzy appearance to the external screen that happens randomly. Some users report odd pixels and occasional flashes on the display as well.
