Samsung just made recently, it's first OLED TV ever, It's nowhere near better than LG, and can't even compete in price. You can only be referring to QLED TV's, which is close but still cannot rival OLED overall. Look Eastman Kodak (the Kodak camera company) still owns the rights to the photographic side of OLED. LG purchased OLED Television rights from Eastman Kodak back in 2009, so LG has the most experience in the field, it also manufactures the screens for all the companies.

Samsung is a very petty company, rather than pay LG for usage rights, it decided to make its own version to compete, It just can't beat OLED so just join it instead. The reason I said they were petty, when Apple won its case against Samsung, they were ordered to pay Apple 5 million dollars, well they sent Apple 5 million in pennies! Such a petty company!

Samsung tried to make OLED panels recently, but were not to their liking, so they inked a deal with LG for $2.5 billion, purchasing about 2 million OLED panels and 5 million LCD panels for this year & possibly for more than 3 years according to a spokesperson, Yi Choong-hoon, head of display-focused market tracker UB Industry Research.

All TV companies do it, because LG owns the copyrights to OLED Television only, and that part was bought for $100 million. Not the Photographic side of OLED, Eastman Kodak did not sell that part.
