Didn't OLED come out 2 years ago? And QLED last year?

Samsung are master marketers. They didn't want to take a patent license from LG to make OLED, so they do what

Darn, I guess I'll just stick with my 43" from 7 years ago

I had a 65" 4k for $400 right before Christmas ready to click buy, but my wife wouldn't go for it.
