If you're on a tight budget and primarily watch cartoons and animation, the Vizio D-Series '22 could save you money while serving your needs adequately. However, for a better experience using the TV as a monitor and more vibrant colors, the Vizio V-Series '22 offers these benefits but at a higher cost. Neither TV is particularly well-suited for gaming or watching sports. Both have limitations in bright rooms, so if you have a lot of natural light, you might want to consider other options. Keep in mind, the V-Series '22 offers better accessibility with voice commands and additional HDMI ports for more connectivity. Give Feedback
