If your budget is a primary concern and you're looking for a basic TV mainly for watching news, talk shows, or cartoons, the Vizio D-Series '22 may suit your needs. However, if you're willing to invest in a superior viewing experience for movies, sports, and gaming, and prefer better performance in both dark and somewhat bright rooms, the LG C1 OLED is an excellent choice. The LG C1 also has a wider viewing angle, which is beneficial if you often watch TV with a large group spread out across the room. Keep in mind that OLED TVs like the LG C1 can suffer from permanent burn-in if static content is displayed for extended periods, so it may not be ideal if you plan to use it as a computer monitor or for similar static display purposes.

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.
