Not without significant hardware modifications -- but some people have reportedly done exactly that. (Was that in this thread, or did I read it elsewhere? I'm losing track...)
I don’t think they care about grabbing Studio Monitor customers because it’s their panel in those, but they should certainly update it so it is usable via DP without TB3 as well as add multiple input ports with switching. There should be a general purpose 5K display that works well with both Macs and PCs. LG offers like 20 different 4K models for every use case but has only ever offered 5K in a very constrained way.
You know, if Apple would simply fix the scaling on 4K monitors and stop being wedded to resolution doubling that would give us a lot more options.
What displays have Ethernet ports, I have not seen any displays with a plug-in ethernet port.
Stay away from this Rubbish, I will never buy any LG product in my life again:
LG's 27-inch UltraFine 5K external display has not been discontinued and will be back in stock next month, LG has told The Wall Street Journal.
Following speculation that the LG UltraFine 5K display may have been discontinued when it went out of stock at most major retailers, LG told The Wall Street Journal that the UltraFine 5K is still in production and has not been discontinued. The display is simply out of stock at the current time due to component shortages and high demand. LG expects the UltraFine 5K to come back in stock on its website as soon as next month, with availability at other retailers presumably set to improve around the same time.
Apple worked with LG to develop the UltraFine 5K display, which contains almost the exact same panel as a 27-inch 5K iMac, featuring Thunderbolt connectivity, close integration with macOS, and the ideal 5120 by 2880 resolution for Retina scaling on a Mac, making it the go-to option for many Mac users in recent years.
Following the announcement of the Studio Display, Apple delisted the 27-inch UltraFine 5K display from the Apple Store. Apple presumably chose to stop selling the UltraFine 5K due to its similarity to the Studio Display. The UltraFine 5K features almost the same 27-inch 5K panel with P3 wide color, built-in speakers, a built-in camera, a single Thunderbolt port that is capable of charging a MacBook, and three USB-C ports, but for a price of $1,299, $300 cheaper than the Studio Display.
The Studio Display adds a slim aluminum design, an extra 100 nits of brightness, and Center Stage functionality, but does not come with a height-adjustable stand as standard. Apple continues to sell the UltraFine 5K's smaller sibling, 23.7-inch UltraFine 4K display, for $699.
Reviews of the Studio Display were released earlier today with a largely negative response, but Apple is rumored to be planning to launch a more high-end 27-inch "Studio Display Pro" with mini-LED technology later this year.

The Apple Thunderbolt Display was the only one I had with one, but I usually had one plugged into a USB port on my 34" LG Thunderbolt monitors.
You must have a dud! Mine has been perfect. My only complaint is that it is too light for my VESA arm which is designed for an iMac so it's hard to keep the LG level. Of course that's on the arm not the screen. Otherwise I love it.
Given that this is your very first post, (By the way, welcome to the forum!) you can possibly be forgiven for minor transgressions -- but just so you know: Reviving an old thread (sometimes referred to as "necroing") is generally frowned upon in forums like this one, unless you have something particularly noteworthy and timely to add to the discussion.
It works fine. I have a tiny tp-link one. I don't need a hub. The (wired!) keyboard (Apple) goes in via a USB-A/C adaptor and there's still a spare USB-C port. The mouse (wired, Apple) plugs into the keyboard USB-A hub. The printer is on the ethernet from the router. When I travel the tp-link ethernet comes along. Its 20mm cable folds back into the casing.

Good question. If you look at the page for this product on the official LG website, you could easily be led to believe that it's still a current product -- but when I clicked on the "Find a retailer" button, I didn't get anything back other than a spin-wheel. (This could of course be related to the filters on my internet connection at the office, so ymmv, as they say.)
