If you're on a tight budget, the Vizio D-Series is an affordable choice that is fine for watching cartoons and animations, and its performance in a dark room is acceptable. However, it has poor gaming performance and won't be very good in bright rooms, with limited features for future-proofing such as low number of HDMI ports and absence of advanced HDR formats. On the other hand, the LG NANO90 costs more but offers very good gaming performance, better color performance out of the box, and is a better choice if you need a larger screen. It has more HDMI ports for connecting multiple devices and supports a wider range of HDR formats, which can enhance the viewing experience for compatible content. Keep in mind that both TVs have fair overall picture quality, and neither excels in every viewing situation. Give Feedback

"Here we have HDR pictures that look bright, but also manage to typically hit decently deep black levels.WebOS continues, though, to be one of the easiest to use. Connections are strong for a mid-range TV. Native 4K pictures look crisp and detailed."
"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."
