Why do people bother to reply to this OP, as already said, never takes any advice, always disagrees with everyone, and always waits for several days to reply

Needs time to research his replies?

or sets light to blue touch paper and retires to a safe distance to watch the results?

Number29 - I disagree completely. Have you seen any reviews saying the screen is washed out? I haven't seen an S3 yet, but have compared the iPhone5 and Nexus4 beside each other, and both screens are fantastic. There must have been something wrong with the pictures your were looking at, the brightness settings, or the screen itself. Was a screen protector still on? Outdoors or indoors?

Errr, I'm talking about the Nexus 4 I owned for a month in comparison to my iPhone 5 and SGS3.

I wouldn't disagree so strongly if I hadn't looked myself - if your Nexus 4 screen is as bad as you say it is, it's faulty and needs to go back. Nothing wrong with the contrast of the screen of this phone (or any decent modern smartphone these days) as long as you avoid the (over aggressive) auto screen dimming.
Have you seen any reviews that agree with you?

I don't read reviews I tend to prefer real life experience with things myself.

I've done both and any review of the Nexus 4's screen says it's excellent.

I've read numerous reviews about this phone, and it's been universally praised as one of the very top phones on the market even ignoring the fact that its half the price of anything near it. When the price is taken into consideration, its a no-brainer, and the screen has specifically been praised as being superb.

However, its successor the Nexus 5 is rumoured to be announced in mid May at Google I/O 2013, so it might be worth waiting for:
