If you are looking for an affordable option, the Vizio D-Series '22 is budget-friendly, but its overall picture quality, gaming performance, and bright room viewing are limited. Conversely, the Samsung Q70A costs more, but it offers better picture quality, color performance, and gaming capabilities, including support for advanced gaming features. The Samsung Q70A also performs better in brightly lit rooms. If you watch a variety of content including movies, sports, and use the TV for gaming, and if you have some extra budget, the Samsung Q70A would be a more versatile choice. However, if cost is a primary concern and you have a dark room to watch TV in, the Vizio D-Series '22 could suffice. Give Feedback
