Blurry screen replacement

After breaking my note 4 screen I ordered a note 4 off ebay that was “for parts” it was in perfect condition so figure it was worth the risk I replaced the power button and the motherboard since that was the issues with the phone I found out.. now the phone I ordered is a slightly different varieties I have the sm-n910t this is the sm-n910t3 screen… however all images and videos you see on the device are extremely blurry…i downloaded all the screen resolution checkers I could find and they all say the resolution is normal but I can't get 4k videos on youtube to go above 1080p in the setting…I wiped cash and dalvik also did a reset on the phone to stock settings…still no luck I'm trying to figure out if this is a knockoff screen or if maybe I need to flash the firmware again or if maybe there is a connection issue and how I would tell…and see the s pen doesn't work but I can tell the hardware for the s pen is on the back of the scene (that copper layer and connector) it did feel like it was having issues clipping in but the regular clip for the screen went in fine…everything on the inside of this phone including marking's is identical to what it should be so I have a hard time believing it's a fake screen especially with how new this phone was…
 
Unfortunately wiping the cache and the dalvik wasn't going to help your issue considering that's not the correct screen that goes with that device. Maybe if you get the correct screen for that device the blur images may go away.

Sorry but from what I understand a note 4 screen is a note 4 screen...like I said they appear identical even have identical markings if I tried to put a note 5 screen in I could understand that response
 
Also from what I understand is the only thing that switched between the n910two and the n910t3 is the antenna.. they are both the mobile variant and don't really have a difference
 
Try opening up your Note 4 again and re-seat the ribbon connectors between the display and motherboard. Perhaps the blurriness is because one or more of the connections between the metal contacts needs to be re-established.

I think blurry screen due to bad contact only happens with analog connectors, for example composite connectors. With connectors like they actually are in the phone, you either get connected or not at all.

But transfer of electrical signals, the actual physical connection between two metal contacts, is not analog nor digital as neither applies in this instance. My suggestion was relevant to the actual physical connection, with ribbon cables that involve several, simultaneous ones, not some irrelevant issue comparable to analog (composite) vs digital (HDMI).
