If you can switch to the 4.15 kernel the screen issue may be fixed, alternatively.. If you can get to a terminal screen with lubuntu, it looks like you can do the following to fix the display problem.. (works for some, not all it seems)
sudo nano /etc/default/grub Simple editor 'nano' will open. Add line GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text at the end of file. Save file and exit from nano. issue command: sudo update-grub reboot.
