If you want bright go QLED or if you want deep darker blacks go OLED

What does the Q stand for?

This is the correct answer.
QLED simply can't go as deep black as OLED.
OLED simply can't get as bright a QLED.
I prefer the brightness when watching stuff on HDR or particularly Dolby Vision

Agree with everyone else. If you have a bright room, you'll want QLED.
I mainly watch at night so I went with OLED. Waiting for mine to arrive. My friend has one and it looks awesome. Sold me on it.

Careful with OLED if you watch channels with static images they can get image retention or burn in.

QLED is really a marketing term used by Samsung for their newer led TVs that use a color filter. Some improvement over previous generations, but not drastically so.
OLED is an emissive technology not driven by an LED backlight. Similar to plasma back in the day. Definitely better than QLED in all areas except when you need high brightness or you basically show a static image all the time
Rtings LED vs OLED vs QLED

I think unless you actually have the sun shining directly on your TV, you'll be pretty happy with an OLED. The "bright room" caveat is very overblown. I watch in a room with enough natural light to leave the lights off until the sun has set and think it's more than fine.

Off center viewing for OLED is much better than QLED.

OLED has by far the best viewing angles if you will have many over to watch TV.

Maybe a little, but for me the OLEDs are so dark they lack detail. I watched an OLED and LED next to each other playing the same 4K content. Both Sony master series. The OLED lacked some of the detail. Like the image of a hotel at night. On the OLED you couldn't even make out the windows on the building where the LED you could clearly make out the windows.
At the end of the day it's a taste thing.

That must have been a very poor setup. That is literally one, if not the best advantage that OLED TVs have over LED

Not necessarily, OLED's brightness limitations really hinder it's HDR/Dolby Vision details and pops of color. So when you combine the weakest thing about OLED with the insane darks you get, it can lose some detail.
When people complain and don't like the lack of brightness from an OLED display, we aren't talking a small amount here, the gap is huuuuuge.
LG C9 SDR Brightness: Real Scene 335 cd/m², Peak 447
Samsung Q90 SDR Brightness: Real Scene 767 cd/m², Peak 1,112
LG HDR: Real Scene 726, Peak 855
Samsung HDR: Real Scene 1,304, Peak 1,431

Contrast ratio is more important than brightness. Can only get that with the intense blacks of OLED

Yeah. Wouldn’t trade my OLED. I do have great light control in my viewing room.

And brightness matters for HDR, which is why they're so poor for HDR and Dolby Vision.

They aren't poor at all. They just are not as bright. In dark rooms, they are better because bright isn't needed.
OLED always wins best picture quality every year. It is superior. It has one relative weakness but that weakness is still a strength.

Two brand new out the box 65" Sony Master Series displays running the same 4K HDR Blu-ray side by side, one OLED the other LED, in a conference room with no windows and the lights off. First run strait out the box with factory settings. Second run after a Sony sales engineer tweaked the settings. I guess that's poor to some.
People on the board can go back and forth with this untill they are blue in the face with everyone pimping whichever TV they own but at the end of the day it's a taste thing. Some people like their hot dogs grilled others like them boiled.
Happy 4th ! Merica

No they're poor, almost triple the brightness in HDR content for competitors.
The 2019 LG C9 scores a very poor 7.7 HDR rating from rtings as a result.
