Our Verdict
Vizio D3 Series 2021
Vizio V Series 2022
The Vizio V Series 2022 is better than the Vizio D3 Series 2021. This is mostly due to the V Series being a 4k TV versus 1080p on the D3 Series. Due to its higher resolution and ability to do HDR, the V Series displays a sharper image that can take advantage of 4k content. The V Series is also brighter in SDR, so it can overcome more glare, but it's still too dim to be used in a bright room.
