Just got iphone 6s plus--Is the Screen kinda Crappy??

Just got the iphone 6s-for wife-and 6s Plus for me.

Coming from iphone 4 then 5 now 6.

I was expecting a better visual experience--The Screen is not nearly as great as I expected given the Great Perfection of all things Apple.

Fonts look like shit.
Videos don't look that good
HD video is OK but not that great.
4.7 inch looks better then 6s Plus-All the Imperfections/shortcomings are amplified on 5.5 inch.
I was expecting a better experience for 6s Plus.

Is this accurate or do my eyes deceive me?

UPDATE: I'm beginning to like it More.

Or were My Expectations just too High??
 
I think the 6+ screen looks way better than the 6 personally.

How is that?? how is it Better?
I'm looking at Both now and the 6s looks better than Plus--Bigger amplifies imperfections with no appreciable benefit -At least to me it does.

Are you sure you're just not watching SD content from your old phone? Low res content will look worse on a larger, higher res screen. If you're watching HD content, then it's either preference or a hardware issue.

To make sure I was watching the Best HD content available to me I watched the HD version of the Wolf of Wallstreet on Amazon instant Video. It looked good but not great.

It looked just as good or better on the Smaller 6s.
I watched side by side 6s and 6s plus--Expected better from Plus sinse it is "Full HD"
 
Your phone should have one of the best smart phone displays available, try another one of the same model side by side and see if your phone isn't defective. Not much to adjust on the display except auto brightness, so I don't think you messed it up accidentally somehow.
 
For the last couple of years, I've bought both a 6 and 6+, I find them pretty much identical except for the size and OIS.

This is your second thread about the iPhone 6s+, you sound unhappy, just return it, try a 6s, or another manufacturer, life is too short to live with buyers remorse.

I have a new 6s sitting right next to me.
Probably will return the Plus for another 6s.
 
Maybe some of the third party apps you are using aren't scaling with the larger screen properly? Do you notice the blurriness in Apple apps or in Safari?

The only Fuzziness are with the Fonts--but that started for iphone 5 ios ?

I remember that because I loved the Apple Fonts on my iphone 4.

I think My expectations were Raised too High because of all the Rave Reviews of the Media/Reviewers--"Wowee, "Bestest Iphone Eva" !! lol.

And: I did expect the Plus to Look at least a Little better than the 6s--Specs and all-and Full HD on the Plus.

Don't get me Wrong this is : The Best iphone ever--But I was at least subconsciously expecting more.--Maybe I thought Tim Cook would Give me a Personal Ride on his own Pink Unicorn!! 🙂
