It blows my fucking mind that people are this loyal to a billion dollar corporation, this guy is acting like he bought the monitor from a local mom and pops shop.


M_Mirror_2023

It blows my fucking mind people miss satire this obvious. You honestly think this guy owns 5 different high end monitors from the same generation of technology?


WantsToDieBadly

Yes people would do that


leafghost64

You are mentally insane if you think this is satire


Depressedloser2846

I want to believe it is to protect my own sanity


iPartyLikeIts1984

Little bit over the top…


M_Mirror_2023

Bro you after about a billion posts you still can't identify the most obvious contamination. Save the commentary on other people's mental facilities. Enjoy your trip on mold laced shrooms.


leafghost64

You really got so pressed from a REDDIT comment that you went through my post history? Damn maybe you *do* have a few screws loose.


vashthestampede121

The term is “mental faculties” btw


noodIemolester

Yeah dawg if you think a guy posting a paragraph about a pc while soyfacing and saying he owns 5 different pcs is satire you are insane look at this dumn consoomer guys!


BiggieSmallsFlextape

You’re (blank) if you don’t agree with me.


gotta-earn-it

yep people splurge.


M_Mirror_2023

Another poster said similar. I checked their post history and realised they don't have the mental facilities to argue with. I'm actual kinda impressed with how diverse yours is, even if we're not at all into the same things. Please reread the post. Give me the benefit of the doubt that it is satire. Are these not the exact beats you're hit if you wrote a satirical review? Fake soy face. A gamer defending a dead pixel rather than warranty returning it? The smoking gun is the implication that they have spend $10,000 on different monitors that can't be used together. This is satire and I will die on this hill.


ANattyLight

yes


doombot9

You clearly haven’t been outside enough to differentiate between actual satire and true, pure, genuine unbridled stupidity/cope


Acrobatic_Dot_1634

Fuck satire.  Fucking shit is either so over the top, you are making fun of a strawman...or, so subtle, you are just making fun of the person...which is just bullying most of the time.   Internet needs some antidote for all the irony poisoning.  Someone says "I like blue" and half of fucking autistic reddit will be like "oblivious satire...this guy likes blue, you goddamn mongoloid...media literacy is dead"...media literacy being "have a different opinion about a work than I do"...I'll believe "media literacy" when you believe *Fahrenheit 451* is about TV, not censorship.


-sbl-

Complete with soy face.

Alone_Asparagus7651

He didn't have to write the long paragraph, just the face is sufficient to get his point across


foundfrogs

Why is it called soy face? I get the sense his diet consists of Doritos, beef jerky, and mountain dew. Edit: Wait, why am I being downvoted? My question was sincere.


gotta-earn-it

that's more like a fratboy diet or 2000's gamer diet. it's called soy face because that's how we envision males who enjoy soy products https://preview.redd.it/584nihnstzyc1.png?width=753&format=png&auto=webp&s=09e032620c43c326aefc6a8d98f64cae01ba7a4e


foundfrogs

Mr. Beast?


gotta-earn-it

Mr. Beast is just one of many youtubers to unwittingly use it in their thumbnails. I'd say the majority of contemporary soyjack memes were influenced by the below image, but the history goes [much further back](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/soy-boy-face-soyjak) https://preview.redd.it/gjorp0joxzyc1.jpeg?width=457&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79eec578e6e6749b4629ba0579545c313de42d02


ConnorFin22

But what is it that’s so bad about soy beans? Surely they’re better than mountain dew.


gotta-earn-it

Regardless of causation, the correlation is that males with "soyboy physiognomy" tend to gravitate towards soy products and defend them. Not just soy beans but soy-based meat, soybean oil, soymilk, and soylent. No matter how many studies they bring out, they'll never live this down: https://preview.redd.it/ovei8h2qj3zc1.png?width=1035&format=png&auto=webp&s=e93c3885fe10ce01fc7808c311a36bea012937b0


ConnorFin22

Eh yeah that doesn’t look so good. I’ll have you know that my vegan self can open the bottle though. I didn’t like much though anyway.


gotta-earn-it

Do you notice much difference between yourself and the average vegan?


ConnorFin22

How so?


gotta-earn-it

Anything. Sense of style, taste, voice, attention to detail, philosophy, attitude, source of protein, or just how you look.


ConnorFin22

lol, no. It can be aggravating to not find something to eat and to deal with people badgering me when they find out. Otherwise it’s just food. I have other protein sources of course. I don’t think about it much otherwise.


mmbepis

Soy contains phytoestrogens which potentially (not up to date on the science) effect your bodies hormonal makeup in a similar way as estrogen. That's where the "soyboys are girly little manlet wimps" thing comes from


ConnorFin22

Yeah, no. There’s certainly zero science to back that up. It’s even stupider when you consider that cows milk also contains estrogen. Surely sucking the tit of a female cow and drinking the milk that’s supposed to be for a baby calf isn’t the most masculine thing to do anyway.


mmbepis

I wasn't making any scientific claims just memetic ones


Tomicoatl

It’s because some people believe soy reduces testosterone levels so someone with a high-soy diet would be less manly than those who eat red meat. It’s typically content pushed by “real men” to make fun of vegans/vegetarians. Having read the research there is some evidence it can reduce testosterone levels but from what I remember it’s pretty negligible. 


bigtoenails

But soy is good for you?


gotta-earn-it

that's what soyboys say


ScrubyMcWonderPubs

Soy lecithin makes you nut more. How do you feel about that?

BrutalPimp420

Yes it does. I already had hyperspermia and took soy lecithin for even more but my girlfriend at the time complained about it so I stopped.


hydra2701

The meme started in bodybuilding forums as a genuine but irrational concern that soy reduces testosterone because soy has phytoestrogens (plant estrogens), which in reality do not appear to have any measurable effect on testosterone or sperm count in animals (and by the way cow milk has actual estrogen in it too). This piggybacks on top of the belief that more testosterone means more manly, and a dangerous and irrational fear of estrogen(a hormone men and women have, that is vital to certain body functions). Not a lot of people actually believe in the idea that soy lowers testosterone anymore, and the /fit/ board on 4chan is too busy freaking out about receipt ink or something


gotta-earn-it

We don't know the causation but we have the correlation. Dudes who look like soyboys tend to gravitate towards soy products. Jacked dudes tend to eat a lot of meat (not always, but that's why they're stereotypically known as meat heads). So that's why the meme lives on. >This piggybacks on top of the belief that more testosterone means more manly, and a dangerous and irrational fear of estrogen(a hormone men and women have It's a fact that many men have low testosterone and that on average we're lower than past generations. It's not a stupid, irrational meat head fear to worry about avoiding things that lower testosterone, even if the prescription is wrong sometimes. https://preview.redd.it/f0vnn856q3zc1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bb57a85cb2e355fc3a3a022d43d960ec90b9612


The_Saint_Slug

So... It's misogyny?


cantbebothered67836

>So... It's misogyny? How is men wanting to be manly misoginy


hydra2701

Men wanting to be manly isn’t misogyny, men telling other men they aren’t manly enough is.


The_Saint_Slug

Using "you have too much estrogen" as an insult is misogyny lol


CuckMulligan

No it's not. There is a level that is healthy, having too much is objectively a bad thing.


The_Saint_Slug

Of course there is, but do you think guys were against taking in too much soy(estrogen) because of the health risks? It's a thinly veiled dog whistle, go ahead and say whatever, you know what it is


Depressedloser2846

nah just irrational fear of what they don’t understand

hydra2701

A friend of mine told me he was on a Soylent diet for about a month or two and the slice of regular ass pizza he ate when he decided to quit tasted like the best thing he’d ever had in his life


ConnorFin22

It’s right wing propaganda. For some reason, they’re afraid of soy beans. I’ve never understood it.


Farting_Champion

He has a "soy face" because the commenters sense of masculinity is so fucking fragile that he has to think of everything in terms of his personal politics. Commenter likes to pretend that he is the peak of masculinity and anyone who thinks differently must be some sort of weak vegetarian queer.


Depressedloser2846

projecting much? the “soy face/ youtube thumbnail reaction face/ Cronos when he finds a third child to eat” is a popular meme that’s not really left or right wing


Farting_Champion

Nothing is inherently left-wing or right-wing because the concept is man-made. But the dildos who beat their meat to soy face memes and throw them out at every possible chance self-identify one way, and it's not left. It's a very limp-dicked straw man that has been run into the dirt for years, and if you don't like that then it says more about you than anything else. Feel free to cry though


Depressedloser2846

i mean i’m left wing and i make fun of the soy face thing… and you’ve mentioned dick more times in your comment than one of my flirty texts to my partner…


Farting_Champion

Oh homophobia, a very left wing indulgence. I'm convinced, you sound very, very woke


Depressedloser2846

i’m gay…


Farting_Champion

Oh gay people can't be homophobic. Yes you're very big brained


Depressedloser2846

how does me pointing out that you referred to dick a lot make me homophobic?


Farting_Champion

Honestly I don't give a shit how you identify, politically, sexually, or otherwise. That's the origin of the soy face, seethe all you want


Redpenguin00

Yamama77

I never open my mouth when I take photos, say even if someone gave me something expensive and took a photo I assume most people will give a toothy smile or an open jaw grin? What's with the soyfaces?

DJDanielCoolJ

Lmao it looks like it’s just on the very tip of his head


Expensive_Concern457

Why the fuck is he including a picture of himself holding a box in the product review anyways


machineswithout

I think it’s for people who are self conscious of their appearance/ smile, so they can’t commit to an authentic smile. The soy face is a way to pose without having to show your real smile, and is instead intended to be ironic and humorous.

AngryPenguin22222222

Dead pixles/lightbleed other defects are extremely common on super high end monitors and it's a nightmare shopping for one.


---M0NK---

Doesnt seem worth it then lol


AngryPenguin22222222

Unfortunately that's the only route if you want a high performance monitor. I plan on getting an OLED for my next display. I am currently on an ASUS pg279q, IPS, I literally returned over 10 of these monitors before I got a good one. This was while recovering from intense surgery too. Was an awful experience I'll never forget. It's a great screen, after i got one that WORKS AS ADVERTISED.


[deleted]

How much better are they? I've been using the same 60hz 1080p shitbox for 8 years.


anonjamo

If you play fps games the refresh rate makes an incredible difference especially from 60hz.


[deleted]

The main problem i have is having to lean into the screen to figure out if those 3 pixels is a human head.


AngryPenguin22222222

This is why my next screen will be at least 32 inches. I used to game on a 32 inch tv, and eventhough it was 60hz and 1080p, I really miss that size covering my field of view. 27 is just a bit too small.


AngryPenguin22222222

from my 24 inch 1080p 144hz to this 27 1440p 165hz, its an old monitor but its stunning.


Stuff_I_Made

Fuck the noise about refresh rates, dont need that. But getting larger size and higher resolution helps with productivity. LED, OLED or other technologies with deeper blacks are also easier on the eyes. But you are looking at a 300 dollar investment here tops.


[deleted]

LED is not a display technology, they're called LCD displays, that use LED backlights  OLED is also awful on the eyes because of flickering


milquetoastmilktoes

I got a monitor at Habitat for Humanity for $15. It's kinda dogshit but serves my needs, 10/10 would recommend


---M0NK---

Yup, feel like itd be easy to get a pretty good one used what with all the consooom goin on


thepineapplemen

Why are they extremely common on high end monitors? Sounds like those monitors aren’t as high end as they claim. Or is it something that’s common on all monitors and it’s just notable to point out because a high end monitor should be better?


AngryPenguin22222222

Just because you spend a lot of money does not mean it will be high quality unfortunately, anymore. They are fantastic screens.... A SIGNIFICANT upgrade from a 1080p 60hz or a 1080p 144hz. The clarity and then the ability to unsampled with Nvidias DLDSR is just... It's an an amazing experience. But I would refuse any with defects. It's within your rights as a customer to return items that are defective. You will get a good panel eventually. This is why I'm more interested in OLED. There are some screen burning in issues, not as bad as plasma and there are many ways to make sure there is no burn in. But they seem to have some sort of weird flicker with freesync/gsync enabled so I'm waiting until that's figured out. I don't think OLED can have dead pixels or light bleed which is why I'm so attracted to them. And the response time and clarity being as close to a CRT as you can get. Edit: ,


AguirreMA

stop misusing the word "entitled" YES, you're entitled to a fully working product that YOU PAID FOR ffs


MattC041

If I paid the price for 3.7 milion pixels on my screen, then I'd like to have all of those 3.7 milion pixels please. Also, I have OCD, if I saw at least one dead pixel then that would be the only part of the screen that I'd be looking at until the death of either the monitor or me.


HexDanTHEWHALE

He's got a Rick and Morty poster in the background, opinion instantly invalidated, lmao.


KrustyKrabOfficial

To be fair, good luck finding a monitor that doesn't have those these days.


AngryPenguin22222222

Just don't accept it. If they wont replace it. Return it.


AguirreMA

dead pixels are normal, no matter the display's brand, every single one can get them but if there's already dead pixels on a brand new, just unboxed monitor, then get an RMA man


aameold

Fucking soyyyyy


Kitchberg

I like the Alexandra Daddario dress defence because it assumes I could literally buy a date from her, it also assumes that everyone who reads the review is the sort of person who keeps a ledger of hot celebrities. (In fairness, after looking her up, she is hot af and I loved her in White Lotus) And if that were the case, that I'd gone online and added a date to my shopping basket on the Daddario online store, I would actually want to decide what she's wearing, or at least stipulate that her dress not have stains on it. Rendering his argument invalid. But I digress.


centurio_v2

it's funny how much I see her get mentioned for someone I only know exists because a skyrim mod reviewer I watched when I was 16 was obsessed with her


Euklidis

The pixel size doesnt matter. What matters is that a company (multi billion or not) sells a damaged/incomplete product. What company also sell, other than products, is "good faith".

As long as the dead pixel is right where the crosshairs are, dead center, all good!


carlcig6669420

Bought a monitor like 5 years ago and one pixel was stuck on red. Annoying as hell working on a spreadsheet so I returned it the next day and got something else. If you get something broken take your money back and get other shit.

Common_Talk_8291

Depend on how many dead pixels? 1-2 is normal due to the manufacturing process of said monitors, and generally are stuck pixels than actually being dead - any more than that (with actual dead pixels) and there's likely a bigger issue underneath.

CheemsOmperamtor-14

I don't know if you're aware, but soyface only became a meme after hundreds of people unironically posted photos like that over the years. So this could be satire, or it could just be a dude genuinely making the soyface.


M_Mirror_2023

Mate. Please. Look at him. He's faking. He has almost zero emotion in his face. His mouth is ajar but not stretched, his eyes aren't squinting there are starring. The context of the photo isn't even right to make the soyface in. Everyone here knows about the soyface meme, he does too. That's why he posted it. To take the piss. Gamers scream and cry over the smallest injustice. If he had a dead pixel he'd return the monitor under warranty not defend it in an Amazon review. I know a lot of people have down voted me, but I promise you they are all wrong. Reread it. It's satire.


TwistederRope

I'm downvoting you because you are going to bat so hard for this guy. Like, white knighting levels, and it's creepy as fuck.


M_Mirror_2023
