If cost is a major concern and you primarily watch cartoons and animations, the Vizio D-Series '22 is a more affordable option; however, it lacks brightness in sunny rooms and does not perform well for gaming or watching sports. On the other hand, the Samsung Q80C is better for a variety of content, including gaming and sports, with good overall picture quality, better performance in bright rooms, and more advanced features. Its higher price reflects its quality and capabilities, making it a suitable choice if you're looking for a more versatile TV and are willing to invest more. Give Feedback

About Samsung

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.
