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) 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

The built in usb-c doc is rare, nice to have speakers, curved panel, ultra wide, for $250 it's pretty good price, I'm eager to clean up desk with the built in docking capabilities

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 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.

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.

That's dealbreaker for me. Thanks
For those looking for clean setup via USB-C, keep in mind RJ45 will be capped at USB 2.0. In practice, you get about 300-400Mbps, may or may not be an issue depends on your need.
N54FTW is the first to brought this to attention . I don't have NAS and my internet is only 300M, but returned it out of principal
Joking aside, panel is great and uniform, but center is slightly brighter due to viewing angle. KVM feature is clumsy, 50/50 only, no 5:9 split. Dual controller software will only work if both machines are on the network, you can't have mouse move cross screen on split display with home pc and work laptop on VPN, for example.
Overall, a great deal if it fits your need, and this time even better. Good luck hunting.

I've also had this problem. My internet connection will randomly disconnect via ethernet on a Mac, but deactivating and deactivating the service in the Mac SystemSettings/Network section resolves it for me too. Maybe I'll get a USB dongle so I don't even have to do that.

This is false; there are a total of 4 USB ports on the monitor, two on the side are 2.0 and two on the back are 3.0.
Using the USB-C option to connect to your laptop will result in max 3.0 speeds for the two rear ports. Using a USB-B upstream cable (the square-ish port commonly found on printers) will result in 2.0 speeds for all four ports since the upstream port is only a 2.0 B port, which is the bottleneck.

Idk, maybe the manual is wrong. I'm going off the spec sheet and my personal experience. Literally using this monitor right now and I'm getting full 3.0 speeds through the USB-C connection.

I used it and got 2.0 speeds, wellcum and other commenters in this thread and the old as well.
I was able to use 2 stacking targeted coupons for $20 off and $10 off, plus the 15% off for Amazon return (which was technically expired but the site took it). Ended up being $177 plus tax after using a $5 reward from recycling last month. I also had an offer on my account for 4,000 points ($20) in rewards on purchases greater than $50, so this was basically a steal.
I don't actually know what I'm going to do with this right now though. I have a few options:
Use it for my work laptop for WFH, even though I was given a docking station and monitors that are fine. This might be better for work than my current 3 monitors... will have to try it.
Use it for my personal "office" laptop that is typically docked. 90W is enough to do basic things but it has a GeForce 3050 so I occasionally play games on it, so I'm not sure if it'll be enough for gaming (stock charger is 140W). I might have to plug in my charger to it whenever I want to play games which is kind of annoying.
Use it for my gaming PC which currently has a 25" 1440p monitor. I was hoping to jump to a high refresh rate ultrawide curved and upgrade my PC, but this might be a good bridge until then (at which point I can sell this monitor or use it in the office). My current rig can't push past 60hz in modern games anyway. This is kind of a waste of the built-in hub and office features unfortunately.
Sell it and make a little profit to put toward a better gaming monitor.
if you were in the market for a new monitor and were able to secure the 42" lg c3 from the target deal, would you ditch that for this? i'm too afraid to open the lg thinking it's going to be too big since my desk is only 24" wide

It is a different breed, but that c3 deal is big YMMV and this is nationwide, that should let you in on what was the better deal.
true. i realize that for sure. just wondering in terms of practicality
That is all opinion, IMO ultrawide is far superior to 16:9 for productivity, and then resolution is often a battle of size; like the comments here ('1440p in 2024?') show you how diverse intelligence is. IMO 4k blows for productivity but really good for movies, games are still struggling to push out 4k unless you are willing to drop $$$ for a 4090.
I'd sell the c3 and buy one of these and then keep the extra cash, or setup the c3 as a home office/guest room/bedroom/just replace a non OLED tv and buy this as well.
