Dell		26.5-inch OLED, 4th-generation Primary RGB Tandem; 2560 × 1440 (QHD), 0.2292 mm pixel pitch

In a tandem structure light comes from more than one OLED layer; LG associates this with higher brightness and lifetime.

LG
Refresh rate and response time120 Hz (48–120 Hz vertical frequency); 4 ms GtG (Extreme), 5 ms GtG (Fast), 8 ms GtG (Normal); AMD FreeSync Premium

120 Hz at 4K is available over both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4; the source must also output 4K at 120 Hz. FreeSync Premium matches the refresh to the game’s frame rate within 48–120 Hz to prevent tearing; AMD’s tier also includes low framerate compensation (LFC). GtG figures are given for the fastest overdrive mode.
