Great monitor with some…

As many of us working from home due to COVID, I needed another monitor to complete my two monitor setup (similar to work). I got this LG primarily for it's Ergo function and USB-C input.
Design - There is not much stands out from design perspective. The plastic bezel and frame feels cheap for the price of this monitor but it works. The monitor is also thick, but that's not a deal breaker. The single joystick like menu is well laid out and I prefer it over multi-button setup.
Screen - The IPS screen was not as vivid as expected from the start but after turning on HDR and changing the color settings, it is absolutely beautiful. Make sure you understand that this is QHD monitor so the fonts would be rather small if you sit too far away from your computer.
Function - The main reason for my purchase of this monitor - the Ergo stand works beautifully. The "stand" is heavy and well designed and it moves monitor up/down, close/ away as well as tilt very well and offers good resistance. If you have sit/stand desk like me, the desk would wobble slightly at heights due to higher center of gravity. I also was able to connect the monitor to my work laptop using USB-C and it charges the laptop just fine. This is however where my only disappointment for the monitor comes from. The monitor has multiple inputs including HDMI, USB-C, Display port and i was able to connect my wireless mouse/keyboard directly to monitor to eliminate my HUB. However it does not have input pass-through so if I want to add a monitor, I would have to connect it directly to my laptop or add back my USB-C Hub. If LG can figure out how to accomplish this, it would make monitor more appealing by removing cost of additional USB-C Hub. On more positive note, the USB-A ports seems to be powered, so I was able to connect my Firestick 4K to one of the HDMI input and can switch to it when I am done with work and enjoy some Netflix. Due to odd Display resolution though, Firestick is stuck at 1080P (most likely Firestick issue). The cable management is also well done and I love that wires are not dangling all over the place on back of my monitor. The speakers on monitor works well for occasional Youtube or Netflix at close range but I have to use my laptop for audio conferences since it does not have Microphone.(Come on LG!).
