Here's an article I've read with some display comparisons:

I dunno, I'm sure both displays are good though. According to this read, the XL edged out the win. It's all opinion though.

@Brian706 I think that comparison was based solely off of the specs for the displays. It was published before the review embargo was lifted yesterday so can't include much (if any) real-world impressions.
Pretty much every review I've read since the embargo was lifted does suggest that the overall quality of the LG panel in the 2 XL is in several ways inferior to the Samsung panel in the 2. There were a lot of reports of grain and/or blotches of uneven coloring, particularly at low brightness levels.
Will you notice it during normal use, especially if you don't have a Samsung panel to compare to? Maybe not. I spent a few minutes with both phones at a Verizon store last week and really couldn't tell much of a difference between the two panels during that sort of casual usage. I suspect that it may be one of those things that you won't actually notice unless you're actually looking for it under very certain circumstances - though, of course, once you've seen it you may have a hard time not seeing it.
Even so, it seems like most reviewers are still preferring the 2 XL over the 2, largely based on its more modern design.
