Costco has perhaps the best return policies in the business.
QLED (Samsung marketing speak on LED + color improvements)

While not quite OLED in black levels and motion blur, the QLED line has the best color performance of all TVs (including OLEDs). Best color gamut and saturation.
Here is an rtings article comparing the QLED, OLED and LED tech:

Seems like color reproduction is great, but blacks not at par with OLED. However no burn-in issues with QLED
imo, the biggest downside is that the Samsung TVs don't have Dolby Vision, which is the most popular standard for HDR content.
They're different technologies, each with pros and cons.
