Well, not quite I am afraid...
Ambiant light is less of a problem for me since I am in control of my 
work environment and my clients claim that they are too.
But what do you call hardware controls? are these "brightness" 
and "contrast" on your display? in which case we are back to square 
one: what are the corellations and what is the purpoe of being able 
to fix your black and white point in candela units through software?

have you checked the software update issue with customer support ?
