Some comments about TVs. What type of content do you watch? Where is the TV going to be located? This is important as the ambient lighting or if you have sunlight/daylight that shines directly or in the general direction of the TV. LCD still provides more ultimate nits of light output than OLED.

The content you watch is important as depending on the TV, you can suffer from image retention/burn in with OLED. There are two different types of OLED panels out there: W-OLED and QD-OLED. QD-OLED is the latest and greatest and found on high end TVs. I ran into a video where RT Ratings is running a long term TV torture test where they're running static images on various TVs to check for image retention/burn in. They mention it seems the QD-OLED is more susceptible to image retention/burn in than W OLED.

Also viewing angle is consideration although from what I've seen, the latest LCD panels seem to have very good viewing angle performance over the old LCD panels.

Personally, if I'm in the market for a general purpose use TV, I would get an LCD panel with local dimming technology. I have a few LCD panels from Samsung, Hisense, and TCL. The Samsung panels are pretty old so can't really say much about them. I've been surprised by the Hisense I have in my bedroom that does pretty well. The TCL I have at my vacation home has been a pretty solid performer for the price. The key to both is that I looked up any picture/calibration settings available online and applied them to the TVs. While this isn't as good as a true in person ISF calibration, it was good enough for me.

I do have an OLED panel. It's from Sony and is the A90J which was the king of all OLEDs until they released the A95K which has the newer QD-OLED panel. I know the panel used in the A90J is made by LG for Sony under their specs. In fact, LG manufactures OLED panels for many other manufacturers. I purchased my A90J from Value Electronics. They provided great customer service and are extremely knowledgeable about TVs. They sponsor an annual TV shoot out that has been the reference for many enthusiasts on AVS Forum. They also offer in house break in of the panel and ISF calibrations before the TV is shipped to you. I took advantage of this optional service with my A90J. The ISF calibration was done by D-Nice of AVS Forum fame. I actually had contracted D-Nice to come to my home many years ago to calibrate both of my Pioneer plasmas. He's legendary for getting TVs dialed in to give the best picture possible.
