No End in Sight for MacBook Display Issues

From DailyTech: In January, loyal Apple fans ponied up at least $2,799 to get their paws on the hot new 17" MacBook Pro. However, it proved for many of them to be an unpleasant ride with the graphics failing on many units. Now it's deja vu, with Apple owners being faced with more pesky graphics problems.

Reports indicate the newly released MacBook Pros with unibody aluminum cases are suffering from display distortion, which leaves text unreadable and the screen hard to use. Apple's support team has indicated on its forums that the issue is isolated to customers using the Mini-DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter.

Apple has released a firmware update to patch the problem -- the 1.02 firmware update for the Mini-DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter. However, it strangely decided not to post the update on Apple software update or on its website.
