If budget is your main concern, the Vizio D-Series '22 may be the better option as it's less expensive. However, keep in mind that you will get an overall picture quality, motion processing, and color accuracy that are just fair, and it might not perform well in bright rooms. On the other hand, the Samsung CU7000 has better build quality and is a newer model, which means it might have more updated features and better support for high dynamic range content formats like HDR10+ and HLG, with the potential for better future-proofing. It also has better sound quality and more HDMI ports, but comes at a higher cost. If you can stretch your budget, you may appreciate the added benefits of the Samsung over time, especially if you plan to use the TV in a variety of viewing scenarios and want a more robust feature set.

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.
