Nice! I bought a Dell XPS 13 FHD last year, but returned it due to the screen issues... ended up buying a Macbook Pro on Black Friday instead (fix weren't available then).

QHDDBCOffFolder = 9343\DP_Rework_ToolV17 - CABC off

QHDDBCOnFolder = 9350\DP_Rework_ToolV17 - CABC on
QHDDBCOffFolder = 9350\DP_Rework_ToolV17 - CABC off

That's basically all the recent models, except the newest one, which I believe is already patched out of the box.
