'Blu-Ray quality?' It's made out of plastic, is marginally better than the previous version yet mysteriously costs twice as much?

The 5.5-inch panel sports a 2560 x 1440 resolution, considerably sharper than the screens on the Samsung Galaxy S4 (441ppi), HTC One (469ppi) and LG G2 (424ppi) which all boast still splendid - yet smaller - 1080 x 1920 displays.

Yet the eye cannot determine resolutions any greater than 300 dpi so it is all a waste of power. A smaller screen looks good enough already.

That phone has the same pixel count then as the 27" display I'm sitting in front of now.
What's the point?

None. Once you have reached retina levels then any improvements are simple tech willy waving between manufacturers.

I fully appreciate that. It is also trademarked willy waving, but my original point still stands. Above 300 dpi what ever you call it,is undetectable by us mere humans.

I thought BluRay was 1080p, in which case the Galaxy s4 and the htc One are also BluRay quality - all the BluRay discs I have are encoded in 1080p..

Point of order. We are taking about Pixels Per Inch, so PPI is the correct term to use here. DPI is Dots Per Inch, which is a printing measurement where ink dots a used to represent colour using overlying screens of dots.
