Vizio D and E series: Same style, different features and pictures

2017-07-25
the four TVs you see here all belong to videos D and E series they represent the company's least expensive sets for 2017 but many still offer impressive picture quality and features especially for the money let's take a peek on the outside the D&E series TVs look pretty much the same they have glossy black frames with the minimal border around the screen set on these little legs splayed far to the side the legs have triangle shaped cutouts but otherwise the TVs are pretty standard looking so how are they different the D series is cheaper and many of the sizes in the series lack extras like 4k resolution and Smart TV the two you see here at 50 and 65 inches both do include those extras although the D series Smart TV system is really basic the more expensive eseries offers 4k resolution in every size although only a few can handle the highest quality HDR sources there are also Vizio steepest TVs with the smart cast system its menus are slicker looking and you can use the chromecast built-in feature to cast apps directly from your phone to the TV you can also control some functions with a Google home speaker the differences between the D and E Series TVs I tested also extend a picture quality all of them deliver a good enough picture for most viewers but the larger models perform better these 65 inch sets each have local dimming technology that allows them to achieve excellent contrast and top of the price smaller ones lack local dimming and their pictures weren't as impressive the bigger sizes and videos BD series are among our favorite entry-level TVs although in many ways we don't like them as much as Roku TVs which have a superior Smart TV system but the bigger videos still deliver very good image quality for the money check out CNET for more details
