I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem? I updated my pitool and firmware to the latest versions and have dim displays.

I have the same problem, dim display after update…  
8K plus sn 20630.  
Pimax need to fix this asap, the Pi tool 144 fix, reverts to dim when changing hz…  
I change from 90hz to the new 110hz option, and screen dim again, this fix is not a permanent fix.
