If you're on a tight budget, the Vizio D-Series could be the right choice as it's significantly more affordable and still manages to offer good performance for cartoons and animations. However, it falls short in bright rooms and doesn't provide the best gaming experience. In contrast, the LG UP8000 costs more but delivers a better viewing angle, making it a better option for a room where viewers might be spread out around the TV. It also has a greater sound output with more HDMI ports, which might benefit you if you plan to connect multiple devices. Neither TV excels in picture quality, but the Vizio does better when displaying grays, while the LG offers a slightly better color gamut but with poor local dimming, affecting dark scene performance. If having support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) formats is important, the LG supports HLG and is a better choice as a monitor due to its chroma subsampling capabilities. Give Feedback

Stratos Kampourogiannis | July 2021
"What we liked on this one was the very sharp 4K images it could display, its good up-scaling capabilities, nice viewing angles and extremely low input lag. Lastly the new webOS 6.0 is great even if it needs some time to get your bearings while the redesigned Magic Remote feels fresh even if functionality remains the same."

"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."
