Hate? Nah, I like their screens on Apple's iPads. I just don't know what you guys see in their OLEDs. They are truly horrendous. Check out HTC's One S, which has AUO's OLEDs and let me know what you think. I have a One S and 2 other smartphones but I enjoy that one a lot. I don't admire Samsung as a company but I respect their hard work. I just don't have any respect for their OLED line so I am really perplexed by what others see in them. IMHO, there is nothing vibrant about them.
I like their other products. When I build my next supercomputer, I'll make sure to put their 512GB 840 SSDs in there, stripped . But I will never touch a Galaxy series phone until they fix the awful OLED screens. Like I said, someone should drop by BB on 23rd street and calibrate their screens so I can check it out. It's teh closest BB to where I live...
Awful/horrible is a bit strong, though I agree the Galaxy screens do tinge blue. If it bothers you that much, it's certainly fair to prefer other phone screens, though the hyperbole is lame.
Text and web browsing is sharp, and content looks great (even if not 'true color'). I took a few screenshots on my Galaxy S3 playing the Avengers and personally I like how it looks (sharper in real life on screen):

Since I can't go back to Apple until they go way past 4" screens (web browsing is unbearable for me), I do like HTC screens (One X, DNA, etc). However their battery life has been pretty bad, their software updates are worse even than Samsung, and I need expandable storage (paying $40 for a 64GB SD card that carries my full music library and a slew of HD movies is priceless).
Here's hoping the S4 is super, otherwise I'll be switching to a Note 2 as well.
