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

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.
