Does anyone know the pixel arrangement on the display? If its PenTile I'll likely return or cancel.

I don't want to be that guy but does PenTile matter when you are talking about a QHD display?
It shouldn't matter on either because of the size and resolutions involved. 5.0 1080p would be fine and 5.5 1440p would also be fine.
The only one that I recall recently being an issue was the 5.5 1080p.
But not sure if it is or not.

2012 called. It wants its pentile hate back.
Seriously, even if it is pentile, there is about one one thousandth of a percent chance that you'll notice. If no one can give you a definitive answer then you'll never be able to tell.

I'm hoping not. The OnePlus 3 was awful and had to go back but that was at 401 ppi

I'm kinda interested in what phone you use. If it's an android, it's likely you're using a phone with a pentile display

I think they may have been referring to the Pixel XL with 1440p at 534 PPI. The Pixel is 1080p with 440 PPI. The OP3 is 1080p with 400 PPI.
1440p is 1.777777777... lots of sevens more pixels than 1080p.

Technically. It's also 518 ppi to Google Pixels 441. A few more days and I will see if it will work.
But it's still pentile. My whole point is that you shouldn't judge a display just because its "pentile" because at this point that is probably the least important factor as to if it's a good display.

The most important feature of a display to me is the clarity of text. The only displays that seem to have fuzzy edged text is pentile. Hopefully the ppi is dense enough to where the pixel arrangement which typically causes the fuzzy text is too small to notice.
And then there's the Note 5 which you didn't even seem to know is pentile. Like I said, at this point, pentile is a nonfactor in display quality. The pentile hate really needs to be left back in 2012. The pentile problems have been overcome. Its up to manufacturers if they want to prioritize clarity, but it has zero to do with pentile. If you want to question the clarity of a display, I agree 1000% that you should since that's what matters to you. Just place the blame where it belongs, and its not because of pentile.

I was fully aware of the diamond pentile display of the Note 5. I'm also aware the Note has a pixel density of 518. The Google Pixel is 441. This does make a difference!
I just returned a OP3 because of the poor text on the display, there still is a pentile problem to my eyes at 401ppi. This is why I have a concern with the Google Pixel at 441, its better but very close. Not as good as the 518 on the Note 5.
So in other words I am satisfied with diamond pentile at 518ppi. I am not satisfied with pentile at 401. My iPhone 6s is fantastic at 326ppi non-pentile. Pentile is still an issue for those who favor sharp text.
The pixel xl has double the resolution. The pixel has the same res on a smaller screen as the op3, which gives it a denser PPI.
