That's an insane 2560x1440 2K HD screen. On a smartphone. That's half as many pixels you'll find on a newfangled 4K television screen.
According to Korean website ETNews, Samsung is considering dropping its long-favoured AMOLED display tech for LCD, in a bid to cut costs by 20 percent. This applies to both the Galaxy S5 and Note 4

If rumours of a 5in screen are true, that would result in an eye-melting 560 pixels per inch (the human eye supposedly struggles to perceive more than 300ppi). Has science gone too far?
Update 14/01/14: According to SamMobile's sources, the Galaxy S5 will feature a 5.25in AMOLED display with the aforementioned 1440p resolution. 560ppi now looks likely.
Update 17/01/14: The Galaxy S5's screen will be even more sensitive to gestures according to ETNews' industry sources. That means you'll be able to take advantage of Air View (bringing up previews by hovering your finger over thumbnails and emails), and gestures like Smart Scroll (swiping through menus by waving your hand), from further away.
The improved tech also means that finer stylus tips are supported, resulting in more accuracy - something we expect to see in the Galaxy Note 4.
Update 30/01/14: @evleaks strikes again. This time the serial leaker has posted an image of a Galaxy S5 .apk file called '3DTourViewer_WQHD_K.apk'. WQHD strongly points to a QHD 2560 x 1440 display, making it look more likely than ever.
Update 07/02/14: A report in the New York Times claims that a quad HD screen will not be coming to the S5.
