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. Smilie

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) 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.

Tested this on both my PC and M1 Pro MBP

Good deal with USB C. To bad not at least the 100 Hz version. 60 Hz is a deal killer for me. But great deal if you want the USB C, have a laptop with USB C, and are doing office work and stuff (Word, Excel, etc.)

I've been using an LG monitor that is extremely similar to this for the past year and a half or so. It's hard to tell, but the only difference I can see is that mine has 100W PD instead of the 90W here. I think I paid $330 or so.

It's been fantastic for work. Two 27" monitors plus a 16" laptop monitor is a little more than I need most of the time, so this is nice. I use Window Fancy Zones to break it into a standard 27" monitor and a strip on the side for additional applications.

The best part is that I only need like 3 cables. I have a power cord, a keyboard cable, and a USB-C cable into my laptop. My mouse is Bluetooth or wireless.

I actually don't use the KVM very often, so making the switch via software isn't really an issue for me. We did get a 2011 MacBook Pro to work at full resolution, so that was cool, too.
