If cost is a major concern and you're looking for a TV for casual viewing, such as cartoons and animations, the Vizio D-Series would be a more economical choice. However, if you're ready to invest more for improved sound quality, voice commands for accessibility, and a TV that functions better as a monitor with support for 4k resolution, the LG UR9000 would be the better option. The LG also has one more HDMI port, which could be important if you plan to connect multiple devices. Neither TV is particularly well-suited for gaming or viewing in bright rooms. Give Feedback
