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.
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

Did some research and found out why this is happening. Both of us were partially correct.

So, I'm sitting on 2 monitors that I haven't tried yet but have to return soon: LG 34WP60C-B (VA 160hz bought at $229) and Gigabyte M34WQ (IPS 144Hz bought at $359). Gaming is lowest on my totem pole, have some steamdeck Switch emulation that I'd like to try at some point. No PC gaming. Is anything above 60hz overkill for my use case?
I'm really just looking for ultrawide IPS with good display and USB-C for personal laptop or work laptop real quick. Higher refresh rate is always welcome although I do have a 1440p monitor I game on

I tried this, hdmi-hdmi on my windows laptop, and also connected usbc for ethernet needs. Looks like only one is active either hdmi for video output or usb-C, but both are not working simultaneously . Is this how you setup and tested?
I just realized that I will likely get $50 less what I paid from Best Buy due to their awkward mybestbuy plus program, which I will spare you all the details on. Essentially am paying $50 for a 60 day return window. So if I chose either LG, I'm paying an additional $50 for it, you could say.
N54FTW is the first to brought this to attention
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.
You have to change the monitor KVM settings to match the input you're using. By default, the USB-C display input will be set for both video input and USB hub. The rest of the inputs (HDMI 1, 2 and DisplayPort) are set to USB B. Change the one that you're connecting to USB-C and that should resolve your issue.

This is only true if your machine doesn't support DP 1.4.
