Details: The LCD settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit [titled In re: TFT-LCD (Flat Panel) Antitrust Litigation, MDL NO. 1827] accusing 10 LCD manufacturers of entering a price-fixing scheme to fix, maintain and raise the prices of LCD panels. The companies involved in the case are: Toshiba, LG, AU Optronics, Samsung, Sharp, Hitachi, Epson, Chimei, Chunghwa and HannStar.
Under the terms of the LCD price-fixing settlement, the companies will pay a combined $1.1 billion to consumers in 24 states and Washington, D.C. that purchased a laptop, computer monitor or television with a flat-panel LCD display between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2006 manufactured by one of these companies.
The LCD class action settlement only covers consumers who purchased INDIRECTLY from these companies. “Indirectly” means that you purchased an LCD panel in a television, monitor or notebook computer from someone other than the manufacturer of that panel (such as at Best Buy, Amazon.com, etc.). The states covered under the LCD class action settlement include:
Arizona
Arkansas
California

North Carolina

Nothing today in NC
what day were they sent out??
Called the number this a.m. here in Florida because I wanted to know about the distribution of checks and the rep told me that my check was issued on Saturday past. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my funds simply because I have waited a long time. However, she could not or would not provide the amount of my check, she told me that they could not give that information out over the phone. Go figure. Therefore, I asked her about how many panels had I claimed since it had taken so long and I forgot the information and she glady gave me that information. From that I was able to multiply and come up with a round about figure. I will post later when I get off from work to see if it is in the mail today. I am giving it until Friday to show up, I hope it comes soon though.
