Don’t they use quantum dots in some OLEDs? Isn’t that what QD-OLED is?
Comment on Overblown quantum dot conspiracy theories make important points about QLED TVs

That’s fine, OLEDs are better anyway.

Technically, but when any marketing refers to Q anything in TVs, they’re talking about LCD Panels. Samsung manufactures QD-OLED panels but they don’t compete with anything else in the market that has “Q” in the naming schema.

Yes. I’m assuming they mean W-OLED (the other kind of OLED) when they say OLED. Or else they meant to say uLED.

Depends on viewing conditions. As of yet there isn’t an objectively superior display technology.
OLEDs have the best contrast in a dark room as black pixels can be fully turned off, but they are generally less bright and use more power than comparable LCD TVs or monitors (especially when you compare models of a similar price range).
LCD based monitors and TVs can get brighter and can actually achieve a higher contrast in a well lit room as the black pixels on an LCD are less reflective than black pixels on an OLED, and when viewing in daylight the ambient light is more than enough to drown out the backlight bleed.
There are also other smaller pros and cons. OLED for example has a better pixel response time, while IPS LCDs are more colour accurate. Text rendering and other fine graphics also generally look slightly sharper on an LCD than on an OLED display (when comparing displays of equal resolution / pixel density) due to the subpixel layout.

Can confirm my oled is gorgeous in a dark environment but doesn’t deal well at all during daytime with dark content (bright content is generally fine though).
