Hands-On With LG's 32-Inch 4K UltraFine Ergo Display

I bought the Logitech 4K Webcam for Pro Display XDR and use it with my 15” MBP and LG UltraFine 4K display.
Looks like the Logitech MX and their MX creative keyboard. I have been eying them up too......
Buy a webcam, like the Logitech Brio, which is considerably better than any camera you’ll get in any screen.

I think no monitor other than those blessed by Apple supports native brightness control.
There is, however, this nifty tool: Monitor Control
I use it with a 4k 27inch LG monitor and it works flawlessly (and also controls the speaker volume).

I have been looking at the 27" edition of this monitor, but the lack of MacOS integration is sad.
For built-in speakers on an external display connected with only HDMI, this finally allows me to control the volume via keys!
Edited: It seems the tool does not fit with my display well as it would suddenly blink and lose the ability to control via keys, although it may recover later.

I have a 15” MacBook Pro. I use a Samsung 32” curved display. 1 cable (usbc ) solution would display and power (100w) sorted but no webca so I connected a Logitech cam but it keeps cras and I physically have to disconnect and reconnect the camera. I would love a all in one solution. Any recommendations?

I run a Dell U-Series 32-Inch LED Monitor (U3219Q). Hate on the size, but my monitor sits far back on a large desk and 27" just doesn't cut it at the distance I work with.
I do scale and the picture looks great, so long as I don't lean in close to look for imperfections (runs at 182 PPI).
The Dell has a solid stand, USB-C charging at 90W, four downstream USB-A ports (two with charging), audio, and Displayport/HDMI connections. It also has a built in KVM is you are inclined to connect two machines to it.
Aside from some light bleed, it's a much better option than this for only $100 more, and it's an American brand.

It's actually a Logitech Craft keyboard. Note the dial on the upper left. The MX Keys was derived from the Craft design and excludes the dial.
I really want more competition in the larger size, higher DPI monitor classes. Apple's monitor is great but pretty expensive if you don't need quite all the colour matched bells and whistles and Dell's 8k monitor doesn't work with Macs and is now several years old tech. Both of them lack connectivity options. Ideally I'd like something like an 8k 40" or 42" curved display. That would have roughly double the DPI of my current monitor (Apple 30" ACD) so would be able to be run in 'retina' mode while having a similar apparent size and it would feel like a nice upgrade in terms of screen real-estate (9.4 inches wider and 3.7 inches taller at 40" or 11 inches wider and 4.7 inches taller at 42").
can somebody explain to me how scaling works? I understand all the 1:1 vs 2:1 retina talk, but currently I'm using a 4K screen at a scaled resolution (2304x1296) which is 3:2 but still looks great. so while I understand that if this screen was 5K I could use a 2:1 "looks like" resolution, I'm not sure how much better it would look. when I set "looks like 1920x1080" (ie 2:1) it does look good but I can't tell of any differences with 3:2.
I can choose many other options with this screen and it still looks good.
on the other hand if I try a screen with native 2560x1440 resolution and set macOS to the same (1:1) resolution it looks terrible (= much worse than windows at 100% dpi scaling or ubuntu at 1:1). why?

cool monitor yet
"...priced at just $699, which is the same price as the currently unavailable 4K UltraFine sold by Apple... '
but dont have enough coin for a monitor of this price.
