I use it for office work so the single usb-c for video/power and the hub with ethernet were a big draw. I like that I can have one usb-c connection to my Macbook for everything. A few things:

I can confirm the ethernet connector is gigabit. I couldn't verify that anywhere before purchase so, in case you were wondering, it's indeed gigabit.
I don't know why, but the ethernet connector will randomly disconnect under heavy usage until I power cycle the monitor. Might be faulty hardware, my mac, or my network. I searched the web and couldn't find anyone else with the issue so I've chalked it up to bad luck. I purchased an inexpensive usb gigabit ethernet adapter that I plugged into the back of the monitor and it works great.
For mac users: if you want to be able to control the brightness and volume of this monitor using your keyboard you can do so with an app called "MonitorControl" (https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl). Much more convenient then fiddling with the joystick on the back of the monitor.

Overall, despite the ethernet issue I have no regrets with this purchase and love this monitor.
Did some research and found out why this is happening. Both of us were partially correct.

The reason I'm getting full USB 3.0 speeds is because I'm outputting video HDMI-HDMI and everything else through USB-C.
If you are outputting video through USB-C (e.g. single cable connection from monitor to laptop), the bandwidth is cut in half and all ports on the built-in hub are limited to 2.0 speeds because there is simply not enough bandwidth to support full resolution at max refresh plus gigabit Ethernet plus USB 3.0 ports. Apparently this is the case with most USB-C monitors with USB ports.
The only way to get all of the above through a single cable connection is if you have a relatively new PC that supports DP 1.4 (8K/60) with USB 3.0 mode and enable 1.4 on the monitor (which is on by default). Mac currently does not have this option. Learned something new today.

Tl;dr: You won't get full USB 3.0 speeds through a single cable connection unless your device supports DP 1.4 with USB 3.0 mode.

Tested this on both my PC and M1 Pro MBP

FYI Staples's 15% off coupon (which you get for returning Amazon return items) works on these, dropping the price by almost 37 dollars bringing it to 212 dollars. Now that is a slick deal

Do you know if staples is giving 15% coupon for every Amazon return in all the locations? I mean, is it specific to some locations and is it randomly given? Thanks
For sure here in DFW they are

My Staples will give you a coupon every time they need to provide you with a return receipt printed out, ie shipping something unrelated to Amazon or dropping off an Amazon return. However, sometimes the 15% is in-store only. Last week it was in-store for me, but this week it is online. A reminder that sometimes a $ off and % off coupons do stack.

I purchased this monitor a few weeks ago when it was at this price point. Pictures and text are somewhat grainy on both my computers and I haven't found the correct setting to remedy that. If anyone has experienced this and found a solution I would love to know.

The dock in this monitor is USB 3.0 when used with USB A and USB 2.0 when used with USB-C. It's in the manual which you can find online. Bought two of these the last time around and returned it when my NAS transfer speeds were garbage.

I have been following the old thread on the deal, but i couldnt make ethernet work at 1 Gig speed when I connect monotor to laptop via usb c. Lot of folks reported same, which is 250 mbps.

For unknown reasons this monitor makes my eyes super tired. I hate to return it because I love the size, dock, speakers, and PBP.
