If you're looking for an affordable TV and mainly watch cartoons and animation, the Vizio D-Series '22 could be suitable as it performs well for that content and is less expensive. However, it's not as good for gaming and has poor performance in bright rooms, which might be a concern if you have a lot of daylight in your viewing area. On the other hand, the LG A2 OLED costs more but offers excellent picture quality for movies and has a wider viewing angle, making it great for group viewing. It's also superior in dark rooms but has only fair HDR brightness, which might not stand out in well-lit spaces. Additionally, the LG A2 has better upscaling and motion processing capabilities, which can enhance your viewing experience when watching sports or fast-paced action content. Give Feedback

Techradar
Al Griffin | August 2022
"Movie fans will find a lot here to love, and the A2 series’ low prices compared with other OLED TVs will keep their wallets happy. Images had the deep blacks and detailed shadows typical of the best 4K TVs, while colors looked both fully saturated and clean. Also, the A2’s out-of-box picture performance in Filmmaker mode was mostly accurate, requiring only slight adjustments to optimize brightness, color, and contrast."

About LG
LG, a prominent TV brand from Korea, has played a significant role in popularizing OLED TVs. OLED technology is hailed as the future of TV technology. Their TVs employ WebOS, a proprietary smart TV software that not only offers seamless functionality but also includes gaming-specific features, earning praise from players worldwide. Often regarded as the gateway to unparalleled viewing experiences, LG's mid-range OLEDs come highly recommended, making them a worthwhile investment for those willing to stretch their budget for superior quality.
About Vizio
Vizio is an American company. While they initially gained recognition for offering budget-friendly TVs, they have successfully expanded their product lineup to include high-end options as well. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
