After decades of using two computers, a desktop iMac or Mac w/monitor along with various MacBook Pros, etc. - I wanted to consolidate down to one Mac. I purchased one of the new M2 MacBook Airs, connected the LG monitor via the supplied Thunderbolt 3 cable and voilà - instantly worked. Single cable solution. I connected several hubs to the monitor USB-C ports and all the various peripherals (external drives, printer, etc). Screen quality is indistinguishable from the 21.5" 4K "Retina" iMac I previously used.
There have been comments about the LG monitors versus the Apple display options. Appearance, the stand, build quality, etc. The appearance is fine (IMHO), may be not as refined / pretty as the Apple studio display but looks great with my new midnight MacBook Air. The stand is quite heavy and and the 24" display is very stable and doesn't move or wobble. The build quality seems fine. (think LG TV) Reliability TBD. My only comment is that some people have had failed / intermittent connector problems with this or the 27" version. The back panels are slightly angled and the connectors plug in at perhaps a 10 degree angle. Reaching around back I'd see people, including myself, trying to put in the connectors off-angle. To minimize potential issues I plan on plugging cables in once to the monitor (I.E. not changing connections all the time) and connecting / removing devices from the other end of the cable connected hubs..
Last - no webcam, microphone? I don't use these often and the notebook has them when I need it. This would be a different story with a Mac Mini or Studio. So far this monitor more than meets my expectations.
Update 1/9/21: Increasing to 4 stars. Would go higher if there were more ports and a narrower bezel. As it turns out, the issue with the screensaver popping up unexpectedly has more to do with Big Sur than the monitor. The problem occurs about 20 minutes into using the machine. Apple is working to resolve the issue which also can be mitigated by avoiding the login window. I have multiple users, and the recommended approach to switch between them is the quick switch option in the upper right of the OSx Toolbar.
Apple also provided the following command which must be run from an Admin account and followed by a reboot as a stopgap measure to correct the problem. After about a week of additional use, the issue seems to have gone away.

La pantalla se ve espectacular, creo que es una de las mejores resoluciones que he probado en un monitor de 27 pulgadas. Sin duda si el Apple Studio Display está fuera de tu presupuesto deberías considerar esta como una segunda opción.
Pensaba en comprar adicionalmente un dock thunderbolt pero el mismo monitor me sirvió para conectar mi MacBook Pro con un solo cable llegando a casa.
Premium product, hence not a best value for money.
5k resolution on 27-inch gives it a very high pixel density giving it "retina" display quality.
For Apple devices, in terms of quality, this is second only to Apple's 6k XDR display and 5k studio display.
Single Thunderbolt cable giving power and data connectivity to Macbook.
In India, it came with a large power plug usually reserved for high watt appliances, which does not does into regular socket.
It comes with USB-C cable for connecting older (1st and 2ng) gen iPad Pro. (Newer works on thunderbolts cable).
It would have been perfect if it had:
1. Some full sized USB ports
2. ethernet / LAN port
3. 140 watts instead of 96 watts for latest (2021+) 16-inch Macbook pros.
