    I have updated new BIOS and noticed today that I can not lower the brightness. It always at maximum. If I press F4 or F5 keys, the control (QuickSet) moves but no effect on the screen.

    Has any one experienced this?

    Nope.
    But thanks for the warning, not upgrading my BIOS for the time being...
