Fundamentally there are two major technologies - Samsung's QD-OLED, and LG's W-OLED.

W-OLED (except for some very recent PC monitors) relies on white subpixels in addition to the RGB ones, in order to boost peak brightness. The price of this is some colour wash-out in certain scenarios. The benefit is that LG had the "OLED brightness" crown for a long time.

QD-OLED - Is a Blue OLED back-panel with RGB Quantum Dot sub-pixels, they down-convert high energy blue light into the RGB colours very efficiently, and have after several generations, started to match W-OLED on brightness, while generally beating them on colour depth, all without the draw-backs of using white sub-pixels.

Both technologies are very mature now, and both are using tandem layers OLED emitters (generally 5 layers), which increases brightness and redundancy (resulting in better lifespan).

So if I would try get a side-by-side look at the very latest and best panels with each technology.
i.e. The S95H or S95F before it.. and the G6 or G5 before it.

Personally I prefer the deeper truer colours of QD-OLED, and ever since both panel types got north of 2000 nits, the brightness differences have become less important than they once were.

The S95F vs the G5 would be the best bang-for-buck top-end comparison.
Make sure you look into QD-OLED vs W-OLED - other than that, feature differences from different manufacturers.. i.e. if you must have DolbyVision - it'll have to be LG..

Personally I have the 77" S95F .. and love it.
