The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
Now when the brightness is on the lowest level, the screen is still evenly lit. Before, half of the screen would be lit and half dark on this lowest setting.
I know the BIOS is supposed to do something for the thermal policy (fan speeds?) and VGA ROM. Havent noticed anything there yet, but I assume they improved something.
But yes... that nicest thing is the brightness fix... I didn't think it needed to be fixed, but now that I try to lower it all the way, you're right, it's different on this system than it is on one that I didn't update yet...... I don't often use that brightness.... but on a plane, in the dark... it's fine for watching movies.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
