If saving money is your top priority, the Vizio D-Series could be suitable as it is less expensive than the Samsung Q60C. However, the Vizio D-Series tends to not perform as well in bright rooms and has lower gaming, sound, and build quality. In contrast, the Samsung Q60C, while pricier, offers better performance in bright environments and superior sound quality, which could enhance your viewing experience if you watch a lot of content with dynamic audio. The Samsung also has a better track record for quality control and assurance. If you're interested in using your TV as a monitor, the Samsung is the better choice, with good chroma subsampling support, although it's important to note that neither option excels in gaming performance.

"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."

About Samsung
Samsung, a South Korean electronics manufacturer, holds the title of being the largest global TV vendor in terms of units sold. They offer a diverse lineup of TV products that cater to various budget ranges. A notable achievement in recent years is the development of Quantum Dots, a technology that enhances color reproduction, resulting in richer and more vibrant hues. Samsung TVs are well-regarded for their high manufacturing quality and user-friendly software, making them an excellent choice for consumers seeking an intuitive viewing experience.
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.
