Quantum dots are little crystals that perform direct conversion of blue -> red and blue -> green colors. There is no need to convert blue -> blue colors.
So there is no "filter" and the LED is blue (not white).
So a normal TV wastes 2/3rds of the energy on every colored dot.
A normal TV produces white from each LED and then throws away 2/3rds of the light with a colored filter, but some light leaks through, washing-out the red, green, and blue dots.
So quantum dot TVs have more pure colors, and they get brighter because they are potentially 3x more energy efficient.
LG refused to manufacture QD-OLEDs for Samsung so Samsung had to start making them themselves.
QD-OLEDs are the very brightest, most vivid OLEDs on the market, far surpassing LG G4 and all other LG OLEDs, with the highest Rec2020 color gamut of any TV ever.
However, there is a downside. Samsung stupidly refuses to License Dolby Vision sound so you have to use a stereo receiver or some other sound standard with their TVs. The guy who did this inside of Samsung was a big fool.
If you really want that Costco TV, then day-rent a UHaul to get it home, or do what I did. I dragged a 75" TV home 1 mile using a steel commercial hand-truck and some rope. It was a long trip (about 1 hr), but totally worth it for the 75" $499 TCL q691f which had a $200 discount.

Really hope this does end up going on sale here and will continue to check.
They also had stock of a lot of 77" LG B4's for $1,199.97 (from my other post). Might be worth a trip to check it out.
