I have a buddy who has an international Galaxy Note II, and for what it's worth, I think the screen looks magnificent compared to the screen of the Nexus 7, which isn't half bad (my phone is a Nexus S 4G, so the comparison is moot).
You're right, the Note II in store was pretty good, but with its size the density was slightly less pleasant. I think that'll be more of a personal preference thing.
