Not sure why are you so worked up. I got impression from that the yellowing and uneven back lit are quite pervalent. Isnt this something for concern?
You owned 2 devices, so what? Doesn't mean you are better at discerning what is good or not.
Got a tip for us?

My iPhone 6 Plus is jealous of Note 4 plasma screen

There are also complaints WRT to amoled from over saturation to burn in. So what? My new i6 is gorgeous. If there is a belief that somehow every lcd is manufactured with a defect then so be it.
Apple stock or market cap is not changing due to these unfounded beliefs a few hold.
Well put. Some of the nit picking I've seen in this thread to rubbish the quality of the iPhone screen is bordering on sheer desperation. It's sad state of affairs where we have 2 awesome phones and we can't discuss how good they are, only to whinge about a complaint very little people experience. I think we have to accept these devices can't be discussed here with any quality outcome and that is sad.
My 6 + knows that the note 4 has a better screen but it doesn't care because it knows that it's own screen is good enough!
Precisely it is irrelevant because unless you are using them side by side, you're never going to notice or be worried about it. It's marginal to the point it doesn't matter in everyday use.
It took me a while to realise that it's not about having the best specs or the most features, it's about the overall user experience.
I agree
I've had phones with more features than I currently have now, but the fact I don't miss them suggests user experience plays a bigger part for everyday use. There is no right or wrong answer because owning a mobile phone is s subjective experience. We all use our phones differently and the good thing with iOS and Android is they appeal for different reasons. You can't go wrong with either and I wish more people acknowledged that.
You got the impression from where? An Internet forum? You decided lcds yellow and uneven backlight over a few posts on the Internet? As I could say amoled scree burn in easily due to a few posts I've read where proud claim it happens to them.
I would be more concerned about burn-in than yellowing. And as you said I think it's tough for some to discern what is good or not.
Was at the Apple store tonight and got to compare my Note 4 to the 6+ for quite a bit of time, and I do notice a slight text sharpness superiority to the Note 4 but the 6+ still had better overall clarity, color separation, truer whites (blacks were respectable), and better brightness.
I'm sticking with the Note 4 but for all the hullabaloo about the 4 display I don't think it represents a massive advancement over her 6+.

Lcd gives you a perception that it is brighter due to the constant back lit which illuminates the whole screen. You also feel more "clarity" but in actual fact that is more of the glare from the back lit.
Amoled only variably lit those area according to the displayed image. Compared to lcd the image seems less bright but you get better definition and more of the look of a printed image without color or brightness loss when viewed at a higher angle.
When looking at a screen it is only your perception that matters anyway. I know a good screen when I see one and don't need to learn out the science behind it to help me judge. Having looked at both devices I can honestly say they are both great screens. I really don't understand the lengths some are going to prove otherwise.
I think whilst there are a few of us who are capable of understanding such complexities as this (common sense) it seems the vocal few seem to get more pleasure from waving their genitalia at each other like some ritualistic tribal dance, whilst beating on their chests. I think we should just give up rationalising with the irrational and let them be matey. The thread stands like a testimony to envy, jealousy, pride, stupidity, irrationality and many other debased human emotions, and is a sad indictment of the lower depths some folks sink to, to feel superior.
The. Note 4 screen kills the iPhone 6 plus screen in all aspects, I have played with both and own the note 4 and a iPad air 2....I think iPhone 6 plus users should compare there 1080p screen to the Samsung Galaxy S5 since the note is in a different league.......
Yeah, so I've heard, yet my eyes still prefer more aspects of the 6+ for reasons already stated.
That's good for you, but the majority of eyes prefer the note 4 screen so I guess your eyes don't matter......

Really? Got some stats to back that up? And no, a couple of technical reviews does not make up a majority of eyes. I'd wager any amount of money that you'd like that the iPhone 6+ will outsell the Note 4 over the course of a year from release date. In such a scenario, the majority of eyes will have voted quite differently.
And no, I'm not discounting the expert reviews, only the fact that regardless of these expert reviews, people ultimately choose based on their own personal preference. Or the differences are so negligible that the vast majority of people simply don't give a...

You being self righteous and judgmental makes you worse than all those you described.
No it doesn't. It is about discussing the provable technical merit about screens.
Using unscientific layman feel to arrive at certain conclusion just show amateurism.
Clearly my post resonated....
You have been here about two months and your posts history tells an interesting story.
Your arguments lack credence, you validate your opinion not on first hand experiences but careful selective process of finding forum posts that contain complaints or issues, which you then vicariously use to validate your flawed opinions.
I have been here nearly 10 years. I am open to accepting other people have differing opinions, I do not feel a need to fabricate evidence to support untenable arguments.
Even in the face of evidence of your flawed posts, you hide behind shallow attempts to belittle those that have called you out as a futile act of subterfuge.
I'm not a scientist I look at two screens and make my choice. There an old expression about money talks and bs walks that fits into what you said.
If you believe the end game here is, displaymate says this and now you all can pack up and go home because it crowned note 4 the king you are in the wrong website.
If you believe this is a discussion of why either/or is better you are in the right place.
Are you sure...because didn't you say the following when faced with a scientific analysis of displays ending with the iPhone 5 being superior to the S3:

Guess the science is only worthwhile if it feeds into your agenda
"6+ still had better overall clarity, color separation, truer whites (blacks were respectable), and better brightness. "
A lot of those are objectively untrue as proven by measurements. If you somehow like the screen better great but please don't say things like "truer whites" when we all know for a fact that the Note has a white point closer to the standard than the 6+.
