2K Display

I've only used an LG G3 once or twice and had nothing to compare the 2K screen to. Is the 577ppi on the Galaxy S6 from the 2K display noticeable enough I wonder? Or, is 1080p a sweet spot for smartphones of that size?

Screen technology gets better every year, so any improvements in the display are likely from tech than straight up resolution. Someone mentioned that the 577ppi is great for VR stuff since you can magnify a small area of the screen and still have crisp picture. That's probably the only practical reason to have such high pixel density.

I have been one of the more vocal about the Note 4 being too high res for a small display, but the Gear VR proved me wrong. I wish it were a 4K so no screen door effect on the Gear VR. Still a great experience, but minimal to no screen door effect would be best.

Still correct on the LG G3, since the gpu on that is too wimpy for the display. That and the display is a hot running power hog. G4 might rock though.

Amoled- thin layers of polymers light up by being zapped by electronic current. No back light needed. So pixels can shut off immediately. Use least amount of any. The energy required is much less than larger pixels. 720p on a 37 in Un noticeable by the human eye to a 46 1080p. So no everything galaxy for now is way to small for the eye to tell. One reason GS6 only needs 2550 as well as 8 cores at 50 percent use less than 4 at 100 percent. mah times visit x W and charging 3A it should last 20 hr movie and take 70 min to go from dead to 100.

The presumption there is minimum content with whites or bright colors that suck power. I use the black with white text add-on for Firefox. Makes the Note 4 last even longer.

I thought it had a 4k display.

It is neither 2K nor 4K. It shoots 4K video, but the display is qHD. The difference is 4096 x 2160 (4K) vs 2560 x 1440 (qHD). A 5.1" 4K screen would have an eye melting 908 dpi. 2K is 2048 X 1080, which is for theater projectors and some monitors, not phone or tablet screens.
