The more i think about getting a S3 the more i'm beginning to think about the one X, i just don't Like AMoled screens 
I'm just hoping there is a jump in screen tech for the S3

What's not to like about SAMOLED+?
I can't wait for monitors and TVs to use it (and be affordable).

Crazy person alert!!

Yes hopefully, but Samsung have released 14 new Galaxy phones this year and all of them look like that!
It would be even funnier if none of them was called the S III.

I guess but the Nexus screen is perfectly fine and I'm certain the s3 screen will trump it.
Also I'm quite picky when it comes to how I see things on screens and how I hear sounds on audio equipment and the s2 screen has been a joy to use so far. I only wished for 720p from day one really and I thing more.

Grainy, over saturated and not really that sharp, also high power usage on anything other than black 
Put a Gnex next to a one X and i'm sure you would see the difference

If everything else was the same just screen difference I'd still choose the AMOLED. The S3 is 319 ppi anyway and that's nigh on perfect.
Vibrant colours are a bonus.

The problem with AMOLED currently is the battery consumption when displaying light colours. Hopefully Samsung have done something to resolve this.
The HTC one S has great battery life and this is with a SAMOLED qHD screen with vibrant/bright colours being displayed (stock sense) and a lot of whites throughout the sense UI i.e. messaging, contacts list, gmail, youtube etc.
Here is my battery usage:
And I imagine that Samsung will use a black theme throughout the UI for messaging, system settings etc. just like on the GS 2 (excluding the launcher
)
Here is my battery usage:
This is with a few texts, 10-20 min of video, fair amount of browsing, installing lots of apps and tweaking and changing everything about, GPS, camera etc. and brightness was at 70-85% brightness for about 1-2 hours and dropped to 50% for the rest of the time, however, I didn't have my SIM in for the first hour of use (testing the mobile first to make sure it worked ok), wifi was on constantly as well.
And best of all, this is from my first charge!
I have disabled a lot of sense apps though and some other stuff.
EDIT:
I rebooted the mobile once as well, so the mobile has actually been on since 15.00 or some time around that
Second charge and here is my battery life now:
Pretty much the same usage except a fair bit more browsing was done and a few games (angry birds and ROM emulators) and brightness was at 50% the entire time.

God, I want a One S! Why U no add bigger storage options HTC 
Samsung better announce that ~4.3"/Exynos 4212 phone with a sexy aluminium body and SD card slot on the 3rd 
AMOLED power consumption is extremely variable, it's very rare your stuck on all whites. For comparison the BBC news front page contains 60% whites, so the AMOLED screen will use ~300mAh more but this forum only has around 1% so it uses ~400mAh less at max brightness (based off Interek figures using a 4.5" AH-IPS and 4.3" sAMOLED+. Note: not many phones have efficient LED backlit screens like the One X/iP4)

It's totally worth it though.

I whack screen brightness to 100% on any phone I use. I aint compromising on screen brightness to save battery; the battery life should be sufficient to allow me to use 100%!

Your eyesight must be poor if you need 100% brightness! It's way too bright for ease of use and reading at anything above 50% on my S2 and the Desire before it but for outdoor use in daylight it's fine.
