    I installed it on my 9343 FH 8G 256G and haven't notice anything different.
    I was hoping the content-adaptive contrast "feature" can be turned off, but nope, maybe next time

    Yeah the 1080p screen has solid battery life but i believe this Driver uodate is geared towards the QHD+ changes. I used to get 7-8 hours on powersaver mode with light browsing and some videos, but now am getting closer to 5 hours. Might just run a system restore and revert to the old drivers.

    What are other peoples thoughts?
