If you're looking for an economical TV and want to save money, the Vizio D-Series could be suitable for you. However, the Vizio V-Series, while often more expensive, has better HDR support, including HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG, which improves the viewing experience for movies and series with richer colors and contrast. The D-Series offers good performance for cartoons and animation, but the V-Series has better reflection handling if you'll be watching in a room with many lights or windows. Both TVs have fair overall picture quality and are similar in many performance aspects, but if HDR content is important to you or you plan to use your TV in a bright room, the V-Series might be worth the extra cost.

"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."

"Vizio's cheapest 4K HDR TV packs in a lot for a low price. The voice control via the remote works well, about as well as Roku's version on devices that have it. So if you know your way around a TV menu, or want to be able to dial in the picture even on an inexpensive TV, the Vizio is the better choice"
