I've been using the cheaper ($1,000) but very similar LG 38WK95C for around a year. I have it attached to a Mac (via USB-C) and a PC (via DisplayPort) and the only drawback I've found is that when you switch inputs it "disconnects" the other input so the Mac thinks the monitor has been unplugged; my previous monitor did not do this.

That monitor doesn't have upstream USB-B. How do you connect your keyboard & mouse?

Through a passive USB switch.

Do you have a sound bar or external speakers? If so, I assume you only have one of your devices connected to them? With USB-B the audio source is determined by whatever device is currently selected by the monitor. It's nice.

I used to use a cheap mixer[1] but recently I found some speakers with multiple inputs. It would be great if everything could just route through the monitor instead.
