I was only speaking of technical merits. HD DVD wasn't any kind of technical upgrade over Blu-ray, was it (not that that in and of itself ensures commercial victory either)? It's also not an apples vs oranges comparison. I think Sony with the Z9, which is priced similarly (model-dependent) to OLED comes the closest to it (and surpasses it for sheer brightness). The "why are you here" was intended more towards Chas than yourself by the way. You're not constantly reminding the thread you're not buying in. It just creates an SNR that is too low for genuinely interested OLED enthusiasts.
I think you're giving the vanishingly small QLED enthusiast crowd too much credit...how many years of patient waiting will keep them from upgrading? There won't be a QLED TV in 2 years much less 5. Samsung is a carnival barker who says one thing and does another (and then comes back a week later taking the opposite position).
