Black level/max brightness is a panel characteristic.
It is most closely tied to the type/design of the backlighting.
It is doubtful that a software update can anything to increase the output of the backlight or the amount of bleed in black areas.
The quoted numbers don't seem to be outrageously inferior to the competition or anything like that but the golden eyeballs crowd would likely beg to differ.
