Question about Philips 49B2U6900CH

I have considered this monitor because of the two USB-C ports and would like to connect two notebooks with just one USB-C cable each (no additional HDMI or DP connection). The computers would have network access via the monitor's RJ45. However, only one of the computers would be active at a time. According to the manual, it appears that the USB connection cannot handle the full native resolution together with full Gigabit Ethernet, which is why you can switch between "High Data Speed" and "High Resolution". Has anyone had any experience of how this works? How much Ethernet speed is still possible with High Resolution? Are there only restrictions for HDR signals? If you use High Data Speed, is the full native resolution not possible? Or no longer 60Hz? Or simply no HDR picture?

Well, I've read that too, but I have to say that it still works. At least with my setup. I have a MacBook Pro and a Windows laptop, each connected with just one USB-C cable. Both are charged, both have 1Gbit LAN and both have full resolution, although I only ever work with one computer.
