If you're on a tight budget, the Vizio D-Series could be the right choice, especially if you primarily watch cartoons and animations which it handles well. However, the Samsung Q60B offers better overall picture quality and brightness, both in dark and bright rooms, and performs better with HDR content. The Samsung has more HDMI ports and supports advanced HDR formats like HDR10+ and HLG, making it suitable if you plan to use it for a variety of HDR-enabled devices. The choice between the two would depend on whether you prioritize cost savings with the Vizio or are willing to pay more for the improved features of the Samsung. Give Feedback

"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
"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."
