If you're on a tight budget and mainly watch cartoons and animations, the Vizio D-Series '22 might be the right choice as it performs well in that area despite its generally fair picture quality. However, if a versatile TV that can double as a computer monitor is important and you're willing to spend more, the TCL S470G supports advanced formats such as Dolby Vision and HLG with better color features and significantly more HDMI ports though its overall picture quality is considered poor. Neither TV is particularly suited for bright rooms or gaming, so if those are priorities, you might want to consider other options. Give Feedback

About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
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.
