If you're looking for a more affordable option and don't need the best performance, the Vizio D-Series could be suitable, especially for watching cartoons and animations where it performs well. However, the Vizio V-Series '22 offers better connectivity with more HDMI ports and better support for HDR formats like HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG, which enhances the viewing experience for movies and gaming. Additionally, the V-Series '22 is a more recent model and may offer improved features and technology despite its higher cost. If you frequently watch content in bright rooms, both models have limitations, and reflections might be an issue. For gaming, neither of these TVs excels, so if that's a priority, you might want to consider different models. If sound is a consideration, note that neither model has great speakers, so an external sound system could be a worthwhile investment regardless of your choice. Give Feedback
