Workaround from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/803051 (tested on LG R590-5700 only):

1) install the nvidiabl module from https://github.com/guillaumezin/nvidiabl (Downloads > nvidiabl-dkms_0.69_all.deb);
2) add a line with 'nvidiabl' in /etc/modules;
3) add 'acpi_backlight=vendor' to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub;
4) run update-grub.
