I mean, LG aren't wrong.
Well qled is just a trademark what samsung bought, so samsung can call their fridge freezers qled. LG displays know their oleds aren't selling as well and the chinese are stealing a march on cheap lcds and lg knows samsung qd oled is all but ready. Lg has the cheek complaining about samsung where its own current oleds are still white colour filters. Not to mention LGS ips panels are using white subpixels. Both hate each other and both are at war.
I'm with LG.
Samsung have been talking the P*SS with the QLED name ever since the first sets arrived..
How about QLCDLED? Rolls of the tongue.
Well as far as i knows samsung bought the trademark off some company and it wasn't lg. Il try dig it out. Im not sticking up for samsung but lg has put the burn in issues under the carpet in the past. Owners have even taking court action. Sorry but good on samsung for using the term qled, its business as they say. As for a prototype one was shown behind close doors at ces. But il be shocked if the public don't see one in the new yearIt was actually LG who trademarked the QLED name but it was ruled that anybody could use it as it was deemed a generic term.
Everybody knows it is all smoke and mirrors with Samsung and they are simply trying to get as close to sounding like OLED as they can whilst masquerading as some sort of new technology.
Incidentally when are the new Samsung QD OLED's going to be rolled out?? I expect a prototype to be shown at CES but imho you are probably looking at 2021 before they actually release a retail unit.

In responding, Samsung reiterated its total sales figures of 5.4 million QLED sales since 2017 and their expected growth of 92 percent for 2019 over 2018 compared to LG’s sales growth of 15 percent from 2018 to 2019.

This is the same LG that markets LED backlit TVs and monitors as LED TVs/monitors; also a misleading term
LED and LCD: Together forever
Despite having a different acronym, an LED TV is just a specific type of LCD TV. The proper name would actually be “LED-backlit LCD TV,” but that’s too much of a mouthful for everyday conversation, so people generally just refer to them as LED TVs.
An LED TV uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel to control where light is displayed on your screen. These panels are typically composed of two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them. When an electric current passes through the liquid, it causes the crystals to align so that light can (or can’t) pass through. Think of each crystal as a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking it out.
Since both LED and LCD TVs are based around LCD technology, you’re probably wondering what the difference is. Actually, it’s about what the difference was. Older LCD TVs used cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs)to provide backlighting, whereas LED-backlit LCD TVs used an array of smaller, more efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to illuminate the screen. As the technology is better, all LCD TVs now use LED lights and are colloquially considered LED TVs. For those interested, we’ll go deeper into backlighting below, or you can move onto the Local Dimming section.
If meaning that refering to them as LED is confusiing because they are also sometimes refered to as LCD then there is no confusion because all LED TVs are LCD. They are the one and the same thing and either term is correct. The issue with Samsung is that they are inferring things that are not actually the case.
All LED TV's use a liquid crystal display (LCD).

Hold on though. If a TV manufacturer decided to name their TV 'TX 42 Big Smelly Fart' what would you say then. Oh that is not is not right?
It is just a name the spec tells the truth.
There was once a Ford Fiesta call the SuperSport. Was that wrong? In reality it was a 1.3 fiesta with stickers and alloys on. The spec told the truth.
Now if the spec doesn't tell the truth that is a different matter.
