Same here on a Dell XPS 7590 with OLED display, same as @rojer9 in #4.

The script above in #6 works, combine with the autostart .desktop file
from Archlinux wiki. Any chance of this either becoming automated in the
setup or having the relevant kernel modules adjusted to adjust the
brightness correctly on OLED displays?

  Linux can not control the brightness on the OLED panel in the traditional way 
[1].
  Although there's a workaround from the community [2] that to execute script 
while brightness hotkey event is triggered. But if we want to upstream it, it's 
still a problem to recognize the OLED panel so that the system knows when to go 
workaround.
