OLED devices are often marketed as having infinite contrast ratios, but how is this possible and what does that mean for display performance?

Basically back in the day in the early 1080p era, when plasma was king... TVs used to be measured in contrast ratios, which was the difference between the brightest white and the darkest black. At the time the Pioneer Kuro plasma screen was the best TV that money could buy, followed by the Panasonic VT series. Waaay down the line from that I believe the Sony XBR4 was the best LCD at the time, and much like how OLED technology is far better than any LCD on the market, the perfected plasma screens were far and away better that any other TV technology at the time. Look up and reviews from those years, its a well known fact, not opinion, because you could actually measure the contrast ratios and they were used in marketing as well kind of like how they used nits to measure brightness now... however just comparing brightness alone (nits) does mean **** because if your TV cannot achieve perfect black levels it really doesnt matter when the screen can look washed out and somewhat grey in comparison.
I used to sell TVs almost 2 decades ago... I still keep up with the technology, and all I am trying to say that right now, OLED screens are the best type of TVs on the market today and its not just an opinion its a fact. Comparing the build quality of some cheap *** LG LCD vs. the top of the line OLED... thats like comparing an entry level Android phone that Cricket gives away for free vs. a flagship Samsung Galaxy phone, or on a lesser level, comparing a Jordan 1 mid vs. the Jordan Pinnacle series. IE, not an apples to apples comparison.
