iPhone 6 display quality

Bought my wife the 6 and compared it to my S5... Anyone else not impressed with the quality of the iPhone screen??
I understand the S5 has a higher quality, but I still think it should be almost as good. BUT I GUESS IT JUST WORKS.

Are you saying 5s > S5 > 6 because that's what I read, but not what I think you were going for.

Like the first link I found...

Taking a closer look at the iPhone 6's display, we find that peak brightness has been improved over the iPhone 5s, and can now reach the very excellent figure of 606 nits – more than enough for a superb viewing experience even under direct sunlight. Minimum brightness, at 7 nits, is also decent and won't burn your eyes off if you're looking at the screen in a dark environment. In comparison, the Galaxy S5's screen peaks at the decent 442 nits of brightness, and goes as low as 2 nits – great for reading in the bed.
Moving onto color accuracy, we're looking at very accurate colors for the most part with the iPhone 6. Certain hues (green, yellow) trail their target values fairly closely, though reds are slightly less saturated than ideal. The IPS screen's color temperature is rather cold, at 7162 K (6500 K is the reference point), and that translates into a slight bluish overcast that is nevertheless hardly noticeable after a while. Lastly, at 2.23 on average, gamma is excellent. The situation is quite different with the Galaxy S5. For example, the panel's color temperature of nearly 8200 K means that it's quite cold (or bluish), and the color errors are not trivial. As you can see from the chart below, all this techno talk translates into hues that are significantly over-saturated across the board, and just incorrect on the whole. In fact, even if you substitute the default Standard display mode on the GS5, and go for Cinema instead (less incorrect), the gap will still be there.

Wait until all apps are updated, right now they are being scaled to the new resolution which is causing them to look fuzzy.

6 + has the real improvement

In store, I really couldn't tell much difference between the 6 and 6+ just with a quick glance. Both looked great.
Of course, I couldn't tell much difference between the two and my 5S so maybe I'm blind.

IPS > oled for quality and accurate color reproduction .

I looked somewhat closely yesterday and couldn't perceive a difference.

You know how some people prefer the sound of 128 kbps .mp3s to CD quality audio or how most people think that movies at 48 fps or 60 fps is gross, but 24 fps looks good?

That's what I told her as well, guess we'll wait and see after the apps are updated.
You're right who wears the pants, I have the S5 which is far superior. Matter of fact, I think the S3 even had the same qualities if not more than the iPhone 6.

Movies with 48 or 60 fps ARE fricked up to watch. I know it shows more detail but it also shows the sets as the cheap cardboard they are, not to mention the caked on make-up of the actors.

this sounds like an issue between OLED and LCD screens. Colors pop more on OLED screens

Well it is the same 720p screen from years ago, that's why I said only the 6+ is a real upgrade with the screen in terms of PPI and 1080p.
No idea why they didn't make the 6's screen 1080p.

can you really see 1080p on a 4.7" screen?

I looked and couldn't really tell a difference between the 6 and +

Would love to see a blind study done on phone screens. My guess is that specs and brand loyalty create false assertions and outrage.

I put the same video on my S5 and the 6, side by side, and could literally see the difference. The 6 wasn't near as sharp and vibrant.
Just disappointing is all.
