If you're looking for a TV that's easier on the wallet, the Vizio D-Series '22 could be the better choice as it is less expensive than the Samsung N5200. The Vizio also has slightly better performance for cartoons and animations, but it still has limitations in other content areas. The Samsung, despite being pricier, offers a better viewing angle, which might be important if you have a wide seating arrangement. However, both TVs struggle with picture quality in bright rooms, so if your viewing area is well-lit, you might not get the best experience with either model. Neither TV excels in gaming or sports, so if these are your primary uses, you may want to consider other options. Both models support basic HDR formats, but neither boasts advanced features like Dolby Vision or HDR10+. Sound quality and overall picture quality are modest for both, which is typical for TVs in the budget category. Remember, if you prioritize certain features like better motion processing or a more versatile color range, you may need to look at higher-priced models. Give Feedback
