If you are on a tight budget and need a smaller screen, the Vizio D-Series might be suitable for you, but it has limitations in picture quality and gaming performance. On the other hand, if you are willing to invest in a premium viewing experience with excellent picture quality, the LG B1 OLED offers a superior watching experience for movies and sports, and it's also a better choice for gaming. The OLED technology provides better contrast and viewing angles which can enhance your experience in darker rooms. However, if you're concerned about screen longevity, OLED screens have a risk of burn-in with static images over time, which is not an issue with LCD screens like the Vizio's. Keep in mind, the LG B1 also has better sound and a larger screen, which could greatly improve your viewing pleasure. Give Feedback
