I have noticed the same thing. I am running on 16.04 with the HWE 17.10 kernel and monitor works.
I installed the bionic 4.14.0-17 kernel and I was able to still use the laptop display. I tried the latest Bionic kernel (4.15.0-13) and it does not work.
During testing on another bug (LP:1738263) I tested Artful with the Bionic kernel 4.15.0-10 and everything appeared to be working normally with the exception that DKMS failed to build the NVIDIA modules due to not being compatible with the the header files. However, when you install anything newer, the display fails to stay on past the GRUB menu.
