The issue did start appearing after an update on 17.10. I bought the
Monitor on 29.11.2017, so it worked with the 17.10 kernel version around
that time. Since HDMI on 4k only drives the Monitor @30Hz on my laptop,
I bought a DP adapter. After the random screen black outs annoyed me too
much I switched back to HDMI (around early this year). The monitor
wasn't reliably recognized as a 4k monitor anymore.

- I installed the 4.16 Kernel from 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.16.1/
- Powered the laptop off
- Switched from DP to HDMI adapter
- Boot up with 4.16.1 kernel

Monitor resolution was correctly identified

- Rebooted with 4.16.1 kernel

Monitor was not anymore correctly identified. Instead of 3840x2160@30hz
the was at 1920x1080@60Hz

Maybe relvant HDMI adapter info:
My Lenovo Yoga 910 has a combined Type-C USB3 & DP 1.2 connector.
The adapter is a LMP HDMI & USB adapter:
