Side by side the 400nit LCD will appear brighter than the 250nit OLED, but it'll also be significantly more washed out because the Dell has a 3000:1 contrast ratio, whereas the OLED is "infinite" (I put it on quotations because in reality the screen coating reflects some ambient light). The only time you'll miss that extra brightness on an OLED is if you're fighting against ambient light.
The bottom line is comparing brightness levels between OLEDs and LCDs is misleading. Old school CRTs and plasma displays only had about 100nits full screen brightness. You don't need your display to blast your retinas with light unless you're in a bright viewing environment or you're trying to offset the display's poor representation of blacks.

Can you do free returns at Best Buy if you don't like it? Hoping the text fringe isn't noticeable
