The Vizio D-Series is a budget-friendly choice suitable for typical TV watching and casual gaming, but its performance in bright rooms and during sports viewing may be limited. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro is more expensive but offers a better overall viewing experience, including superior brightness for well-lit environments and enhanced gaming features. If you prioritize a superior gaming experience and better performance in bright lighting, the Quantum Pro is the better option despite its higher cost. However, if budget considerations are paramount and you mostly watch movies or standard TV programs, the D-Series could present a more cost-effective choice. Give Feedback

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Vizio D-Series (LCD) are both only fair for movies & TV.
The Vizio D-Series functions inadequately in a home cinema setup due to its poor local dimming and lackluster black uniformity, which are critical for providing deep and even blacks in dark scenes; however, it exhibits excellent colors straight out of the box, which is a positive aspect for vibrant movie content.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Vizio D-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Vizio D-Series and Vizio Quantum Pro both have fair capabilities for watching sports, with the D-Series struggling due to its limited viewing angles and motion processing, which can affect the clarity of fast-moving action. On the other hand, the Quantum Pro offers better reflections handling and response time, making it more suitable for brightly-lit environments and dynamic sports content, despite also having somewhat limited viewing angles and gray uniformity that is less than ideal.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Vizio D-Series (LCD) are both good for cartoons & animation.
The Vizio D-Series is praised for excellent colors out of the box, essential for the vibrant hues often found in cartoons and animations, but it has a poor color gamut which might not cover the wide range of colors needed. Conversely, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers a very good color gamut, ensuring a richer palette of colors for such content, but its color accuracy straight out of the box is merely fair, meaning it may require some adjustments for the optimal experience.

"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."
