Dont kid yourself, the SG3 screen is pretty substandard if you ask me.
Heck just take it out on the sun and go from there. And the whole color-saturated thing is a non issue when compare to the HOX since SLCD2 had pretty good color that comes closer to AMOLED.
I just spent the last 45 minutes with both of these phones trying to decide which to buy. I'm going to have to disagree with you.
Anyone that says they can't see the difference between the One X and S3's screens needs to make an appointment with thier optometrist.
The S3's screen is noticeably grainer at a distance of about 20 inches. Text is more jagged and shading is noticeably grainy. Watching the same youtube video on both side by side was a joke. The S3 is muddled and grey, the One X was bright and vivid.
Overall, the design of the One X is heads and shoulders above the S3. It's a tighter package without sacrificing significat screen size. It's a more solid phone, with a more premium feel.
Plus, the base of my thumb on my palm consistently hits the menu button on the s3 when i go to tap somewhere on the screen. Way too close to the edge.
Your mind thinks it sees things when you're looking for it.

Then everyone should think the S3's screen is grainy, because you've all read the comments and now you're all thinking it and you're going to all be looking for it which means it will be true.
Seriously, I tried everything I could to go in with a blank slate but it's just downright obvious, especially if you're holding the two side by side.
I certainly saw a difference when browsing text, but the difference did not seem as pronounced when I turned on youtube. I actually thought the darker colors were better on the S3. Didn't see much pixelation. But then, all I watched were Epic Meal Time in HD and a few high def cartoon videos.
Check this video out, you can pretty clearly see the difference in the screens once she gets to the side by side comparison at 0:44 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbMUA-lFHGQ&feature=player_embedded
The only difference in that video is that the One X is brighter.
The GS3 is very aggressive with the auto brightness. Personally I think it's a fantastic device, and a huge upgrade from anything 1+ year old.
And your eyes can differentiated between a good screen and a great screen. Are you going to tell me bro in law's dad who has a Pioneer Elite plasma screen that it's not better than a Sony XBR? I could say the same thing you said for people who claim they can't tell the difference between the One X & SGS3 screen's.
comparison of viewing angles is kinda silly, they both have nearly 180 degree viewing angles, so off angle that you will never have problems viewing the screen from any angle which is practical (who really looks at the phone screen at 178 degrees?)
I had the galaxy nexus briefly and now own the EVO 4G LTE, and I love the s-lcd, it is a great screen. In fact it seems unreal at times.
