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

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

How about the blurry text? Does this app improve it? I used to an UW monitor, and the text was blurry when connecting my mac

It's 1900R which is basically flat. At this size even 1500R isn't a pronounced curve. 1000R if you want a curve and less head moving all day in a 34"

This is what I was going to say. I can't picture buying a 60hz monitor at this point.

Not sure about how to adjustb it on a Mac, but I had to tinker with drivers and monitor settings on Windows to get the text sharp on mine.

Whatever warranty or protection plan they offer, I would get it.

I have had 2 LG ultra wide monitors have critical errors just after warranty. USB-C failed on one, the screen failed altogether on the 2nd.

not bad if you are getting two stacked vertically for productivity setup, 34 is the widest I would go in terms of horizontal real estate

This seems to be a perfectly adequate monitor for office / productivity type of work, excellent for someone who needs to buy they own equipment to WFH.
