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.
