Have you ever seen the LG G3 screen? if so, how does it compare to the Nexus 6? The reason I ask is, I heard the same complaints about the G3, which also has a QHD screen. When I had the G3 I did notice that the screen didn't get that bright, and it wasn't as colorful, but it was very sharp & clear. If the Nexus 6 screen is like that I won't have an issue with it.
I LOVED the G3 screen.... I tried to buy one more than once on Swappa and Craiglist back in the summer when the "This is just too big for me" people started trying to sell and trade them... I went to the same T-Mobile store I went to play with the Nexus 6 and messed around with it and I was very impressed with the screen.. My personal taste is for my screen to not be TOO bright... I understand where it might be an issue with people who spend a lot of time outside and in the sunlight... but I spend 10 hours a day inside an office..... I probably spend 23 hours a day inside somewhere... Work, Home, Gym, etc.... Even with my daughter while she was playing soccer they have a covered bleachers area so I am in the shade during her games anyway
Have you had a chance to play with the Nexus 6? I spent about 30 - 40 minutes with it Friday night at my local T-Mobile and I was only able to compare it side by side with my Nexus 5.. They had it anchored to a shelf with no other phones around it... and to my eyes with auto brightness set on both they looked about the same brightness wise (I thought the Nexus 6 looked just amazing so I honestly didn't even check the brightness level or adjust it any)
