    Bring up nVidia Control Panel (right click on desktop and select from popup menu) and under Select a Task-Display click "adjust desktop color and settings".
    This will bring up a panel that has your brightness control.

    Unfortunately, for the M570U and M570RU, this is hardware only, not integrated into the windows software, so I'm relatively sure the answer is no :(

    Edit: you can change the software brightness throught the nVidia control panel, but not the backlight brightness level.
