I would say its a close call and a small enough difference that it doesn't matter. Samsung made huge advances with colour accuracy on the note 4.
 
yeah, the note 4's super ultra mega blah blah blah amoled display is better, yet nobody cares.
 
Because going into settings to change the screen mode is extremely difficult right?

I mean...you can just look at displaymate's site. It takes less than a second.

http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note4_ShootOut_1.htm

So I guess you're more qualified than Displaymate?

I mean, what's the point of TV's having all of those different screen modes. Why can't it be just 1 mode?

Micromanaging screen modes? That's a new first.
I was actually talking about DisplayMate's analysis, no need to link their website and article shootout again.

Thats exactly what I am talking about, you have to micro manage the screen modes tor whatever content you may be viewing and thats ridiculous, the adaptive setting only works for Samsung applications, why buy a OLED panel for its OLED qualities if your only going to lower the saturation and vivid colors people like about OLED's? And also 99% of people DONT change their screen mode they just leave it how it is.

Also due to the fact that the Note 4 screen is still Pentile, some websites and content that you view on the Note 4 would be sharper on the Plus, even though it has lower PPI and a lower screen resolution

Sub-Pixels Per Inch: Red 366 SPPI,Green 518 SPPI, Blue 366 SPPI

Diamond Pixel displays have only half the number of
Red and Blue Sub-Pixels as standard RGB displays.

Content with blue/green in it dont appear as sharp because due to the lesser amount of the red and blue subpixels , where as 6 Plus has a straight 401 PPI across all boards and colors
 
Ive seen both in person side by side and honestly, I think the Plus has a better display, even if it's 1% better, it just goes brighter and has better viewing angles then the Note 4 and isn't even really any sharper then the Plus (Note 4 white subpixels is above 500 ppi, but the red and green subpixel's is only 366 ppi as opposed to the 500+ ppi mark it technically has, but this is due to PenTile )

I agree...I held my 6 Plus right next to the note 4 in best buy and noticed the 6 Plus screen is much nicer..I open the same webpages on both devices and the 6 plus screen was noticeably brighter than the note and text was just as sharp...the note 4 screen actually looked underwhelming, the screen had a yellowish tint. I'm curious to know from the individuals that are saying the note 4 screen is nicer..have you held them side by side? I just don't see it...unless the note 4 displays better video which I did not try.. Not quite understanding but he QHD hype..
 
It does depend what screen mode the note 4 is set to. Like TVs they tend to set the screens to the vibrant mode to catch your attention in the store as we humans tend to like bright bold colours in those situations.
 
The Samsung screens "pop" because they are over saturated. Even if they are able to display more colors they won't be as accurate. iPhone screens tend to be more realistic. So it is up to you which you find better.

Have you read any of the previous comments? The iPhone displays less accuate screen colours vs the Note 4
 
The 6 Plus is a lot better.

The Note 4 is okay, but one problem is that it is attached to the wrong ecosystem.

I, as a person who has purchased the 6 plus, would have to agree with this.

The 6 plus screen is very good no doubt, but next to the galaxy note 4, even as an apple fan have to say the note 4 is just so vibrant and rich.

Why is everyone getting so...butt hurt about this?

There is no shame in admitting their screen is better, after all it is samsung's area of expertise.

I mean hypothetically speaking, had the note 4 been able to run iOS, with the better screen and the bigger ram I would have no doubt-ably chosen note 4.

Its amazing to see how blindly people follow Apple here and if anyone says a tiny thing against Apple, these people come out in full force.

Remember Apple, like all companies, make mistakes, and they have done with many previous products. So by putting blind faith into them, you will also make mistakes.
 
Because people like to defend their purchase nothing new about it. But if you look at the statistics the Note 4 screen is better.
