If you're on a tight budget and primarily watch cartoons and animation, the Vizio D-Series (LCD) might suit your needs despite its generally poor performance in bright rooms and limited gaming capabilities. However, if you're willing to invest more for a significantly better viewing experience across movies, sports, and gaming, especially in both dark and somewhat bright rooms, the LG C1 (OLED) would be a better choice. The LG C1 also offers an excellent color range, superior black levels, wider viewing angles and is more future-proof with better format support, making it a strong candidate for varied content and tech-savvy users. Keep in mind, the LG C1 tends to reflect less light and could be more pleasing to watch in a well-lit environment compared to the Vizio D-Series. Give Feedback

"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."
