Then your feeling is wrong. 1080p videos are rendered at native 1080x1920 resolution on iPhone 6 Plus. It is only in the general iOS UI that the downscaling occurs. The level of detail is the same on your 6 Plus and your 1080p TV. What could be different is color accuracy, contrast etc.
Got a tip for us?

I've always favored Samsung screens over iPhone screens, but that's still not enough for me to buy a Note or S-series phone over an iPhone
I really don't care about the color profile. I figure I would get used to whatever display I have.
However, what is really important to me is how close the actual screen is to the top of the glass. Not sure what this is called, but on the iPhone 6, the glass is so thin that it really seems as though the pixels are on the surface.
Compare it to an iPhone 5 or even an iPad 2, and it's really noticeable. On older phones, it seems as though the pixels are under a sheet of ice.
How do the AMOLED screens compare with this?

I would agree with this.
iOS is still better than android.
However Apple's screen looks lifeless next to samsungs.
I would say I like Samsung displays more but I jailbroke my iPhone 4s and purchased the Color Profiles app which allows you to select from a variety of profiles and If you select Bold profile it increases the contrast and you can use the slider option to increase it drastically or just minor
I have mine all the way up it increases the contrast not as much as amoled displays, but it does make it much more punchier better it also makes the blacks darker somewhat. Its a bandaid fix but I love it.
I attached pictures the first one is without bold on second is with it on

Accuracy has never been something that concerned me, as long as it looks good.
I owned a Galaxy S3 for a couple years and briefly had a Note 4. Samsung's colors are definitely flashy, and initially impress, but they could also be considered obnoxious to a degree. I much prefer the toned down saturation on the iPhone, though coming from using Samsung stuff for so long, it took a few days to adjust without feeling like the iPhone colors were muted and dull in comparison. But once used to the iPhone, looking at the Note makes me a little seasick. It's just overkill with the saturation.
