If you're focusing on affordability and are satisfied with basic performance for various content types like movies, sports, and gaming, the Vizio D-Series may suit your needs, especially if you will be watching animation which is a relative strength of this TV. On the other hand, the LG UP7000, while more expensive, offers better performance for fast-moving content and gaming due to its best-in-class response time, and it supports more HDR formats which can enhance your viewing experience with compatible content. The Vizio D-Series falls short in bright rooms whereas the LG UP7000 maintains better consistent color in such environments but has a higher input lag which could be noticeable in gaming. Choose the LG UP7000 if you're willing to spend more for these particular improvements and if HDR content or using the TV as a monitor are important to you. Remember that both TVs have their own limitations and neither is ideal for very high-quality picture expectations. Give Feedback
