LCD class action settlement checkThe LCD settlement checks stem from class action lawsuits that were initially filed back in 2006 following an investigation into allegations the world’s largest LCD manufacturers had conspired to fix the prices of flat-panel monitors and televisions since at least 1999. The class action lawsuits were eventually consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) titled In re: TFT-LCD (Flat Panel) Antitrust Litigation.

Ten manufacturers have agreed to class action settlements that are worth close to $1.1 billion total. Several companies have also pleaded guilty and been convicted of criminal charges related to the LCD price-fixing allegations.

Class Members of the LCD antitrust class action settlement include consumers in 24 states who purchased televisions, laptops and desktop computers with LCD screens between Jan. 1, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2006.

Although the class action settlement was reached in 2012, distribution of the settlement funds has been held up by appeals. The appeals were resolved over the summer and, at a hearing on Oct. 17, a federal judge gave authorization to distribute the LCD class action settlement funds.

Claimants were expected to receive $43.49 per laptop or computer monitor and $86.98 per television.

The deadline to file a claim for the LCD panel class action settlement has passed. [See our claim filing instructions here.]

      Yes, the check was from MO Attorney General’s office. Called the number in the letter and they talked to a bank person. Bank still says NO, it is fake. All I could do was deposit and wait. They would not tell me how long before they knew it was a real check or not.

      1. Barney Rubble says:

        Hold the check up to a black light. Then tell the bank teller to explain that. Then ask for a manager and start pointing. Your welcome.

    Got check. Bank would not cash and said it was a fake. Only thing they would let me do is deposit it and can’t touch it for days. Would not tell me how long before they would know if it was good or not. Called number on letter and they talked to person at bank. Still would not cash. What a bummer. Anyone else have this problem?
