The Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) and Vizio D-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Samsung The Frame 2022 has better motion handling for watching sports primarily due to its very good response time compared to the Vizio D-Series, which has a fair response time, leading to more blur during fast movements. Both TVs handle reflections well and have similar viewing angles, but the difference in motion processing makes The Frame a more suitable option for sports enthusiasts.

The Samsung The Frame 2022 is good for watching cartoons and animation because it displays colors well directly out of the box and has a good color gamut, ensuring a vibrant and diverse range of colors.

How the Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) and the Vizio D-Series (LCD) compare to other TVs
"The biggest, and most jarring, difference is the revolutionary matte, anti-glare coating on the 2022’s display. Not only does it solve my daytime glare problem of being in a corner apartment, but it somehow adds texture to anything being displayed. The Frame is a home run for anyone looking to add fashion to their function."
"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."
