If you're on a tight budget and primarily watch cartoons and animation, the Vizio D-Series might satisfy with its adequate performance in this area despite its limitations in other aspects such as gaming and bright room viewing. However, if you're prepared to invest more for an all-around better viewing experience, particularly for movies and series, the Vizio MQ6 '23 offers improved picture quality and sound, with additional features like voice commands and broader HDR support. It's also better suited for mixed usage which includes sports and news, but if you regularly watch TV in bright rooms, you might find its performance to be less impressive. Give Feedback

"A Full HD TV that has the wits of most 4K TVs at a bottom-barrel price point. It has decent black levels thanks to its full array lighting and the above-par brightness will surprise you. Compared to the competition, the Vizio D-Series is probably the most affordable TV out there from a reputable manufacturer which makes it compelling."
