If you're looking for an economical TV and want to save money, the Vizio D-Series could be suitable for you. However, the Vizio V-Series, while often more expensive, has better HDR support, including HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG, which improves the viewing experience for movies and series with richer colors and contrast. The D-Series offers good performance for cartoons and animation, but the V-Series has better reflection handling if you'll be watching in a room with many lights or windows. Both TVs have fair overall picture quality and are similar in many performance aspects, but if HDR content is important to you or you plan to use your TV in a bright room, the V-Series might be worth the extra cost.
