Old news (https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/samsung-hisense-tcl-qled-alliance-announcement/) that I forgot about or brushed aside. Hansol is the QD supplier for Samsung. I thought they were also suppliers for Hisense and TCL who are in direct competition with Samsung's 2018 lineup. Maybe not as it's not looking good for Samsung: "Fierce on the competition

Available in June 2018, Hisense's 75-inch P9 ULED TV is priced at $6,499 — that's $4,000 less than Samsung's just-announced Q9F television in the same size, and which also features quantum dot technology."
