If you're looking to save money and need a TV primarily for cartoons and animation, the Vizio D-Series '22 might be a good fit, but be aware that it has limited brightness and poor performance in bright rooms. On the other hand, if you're prepared to invest more, the Sony X77L offers better color accuracy and can serve as a monitor due to its support for 4k resolution and better chroma subsampling, which is beneficial if you plan to connect your computer. However, the Sony also has shortcomings in dark room performance and isn't ideal for gaming. Both TVs have voice commands for easier control and come with built-in speakers, but neither excel in sound quality, so an external sound system could be a worthwhile additional investment.

About Sony
Sony stands as a highly experienced and widely trusted TV manufacturer, earning a reputation that surpasses all others. A Japanese company, Sony has been making TVs for far longs than it has been making Playstation game consoles. Sony's high-end TVs are often regarded as the ultimate choice for videophiles, representing the epitome of quality, albeit at a premium price point. Renowned for their advanced and precise motion handling, as well as their cutting-edge local dimming algorithms, Sony consistently delivers unparalleled performance in these areas. They include Google TV software with all their TV sets, which grants access to the largest selection of apps available and they also include Bravia Core which is a movie streaming platform specifically for Sony TVs that offers higher picture quality by using more bandwidth.
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.
