If price is your main concern and you want to save money, the Vizio D-Series is the more budget-friendly option. If you enjoy watching cartoons and animations, the Vizio D-Series is better suited for that content. However, if you're planning to use the TV in a brighter room, the Amazon 4-Series has a slight advantage. Keep in mind the Amazon 4-Series has more HDMI ports, which could be important if you plan to connect multiple devices. Neither TV excels at gaming or maintaining consistent performance in dark environments. Both TVs have their limitations, so your choice should align with what you value most: cost savings with the Vizio or slightly better functionality in bright rooms and more connectivity with the Amazon.

"The attraction here is that the 4-Series uses Amazon’s Fire TV interface. Picture quality is good but unexceptional. At the discounted prices, which can seemingly be had regularly, they are better value."

"A Full HD TV that has the wits of most 4K TVs at a bottom-barrel price point. It has decent black levels thanks to its full array lighting and the above-par brightness will surprise you. Compared to the competition, the Vizio D-Series is probably the most affordable TV out there from a reputable manufacturer which makes it compelling."

About Amazon
Amazon, the largest online retailer in North America, has forged partnerships with TCL and Hisense to produce white-label TVs incorporating their Fire OS software. These Amazon-branded TVs typically compete in the low-end and mid-range segments, offering compelling price points. Leveraging their strong reputation, Amazon has swiftly built brand trust in the TV market despite being relatively new to it. To enhance their popularity, these TVs integrate features from the Amazon ecosystem, including Alexa, providing users with a seamless and interconnected TV experience.
About Vizio
Vizio is an American company. While they initially gained recognition for offering budget-friendly TVs, they have successfully expanded their product lineup to include high-end options as well. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
