>so if Im usually in a dim/dark environment QD is still the best? not as bright as WOLED but has issues with the QD layer picking up ambient light.
Correct. LG sort of cheats with their separate white subpixel to juice their nit numbers, but in real content with additive RGB/CMY color is more fluorescent and pops more thanks to the saturation levels and their interaction with the human called the Helmholtz–Kohlrausch effect.

It's not the silver bullet we were all hoping it to be (personally I think it's a half-measure until they can ditch the White Subpixel and full RGB but that might not happen until they can get a Blue OLED material that will live for a reasonable amount of time).

WOLED has the edge in white but even the new tandem panel the G5 uses still loses to QD-OLED of the S95F in literally every other color.
Also though it isn't mentioned enough, LG's WOLEDs have worse panel uniformity for some reason.
