Vizio D-Series 24-inch
Score: 74/100
TCL S5 65-inch
Score: 74/100Rankings
VIZIO's 24-inch D-Series Smart TV combines a Full Array LED panel with low-lag gaming performance and Dolby Atmos sound, plus access to over 250 free streaming channels via SmartCast. The limited 1080p resolution, small screen size, and a less refined SmartCast interface are notable compromises. It's perfect for small-space viewers and casual gamers seeking value.
TCL's 65-inch S5 series delivers a large 4K screen with Dolby Vision, HDR PRO+, and a 120 Hz game accelerator for smooth 1440p gaming. Its 60 Hz native refresh and modest brightness limit premium HDR and 4K-120 performance. Suited for families wanting a big smart TV with decent gaming features at a value price.

Professional reviewers commend the VIZIO D-Series 24-inch TV for its standout contrast, low gaming latency and generous free streaming lineup, positioning it as an elite performer in the compact Full-HD segment, though they note the SmartCast interface lags behind rival platforms and the lack of 4K limits its appeal for future-proof buyers.
Everyday owners consistently praise the clear 1080p picture, abundant free channels and the handy remote, while the most common complaints revolve around the small screen size, occasional remote inconsistencies and the absence of 4K resolution.
Professional reviewers consider the TCL S5 a solid budget option, emphasizing its low input lag, Motion Rate 240, and Game Accelerator 120 as valuable for casual gamers. However, they criticize the limited HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, modest peak brightness, and average black levels, which keep it from competing with higher-end models.
Everyday owners generally praise the TV's bright HDR performance in well-lit rooms, the intuitive Google TV experience, and the smooth gaming at 1440p @ 120 Hz. Recurring complaints focus on motion blur in fast sports, the inability to achieve true 4K @ 120 Hz, and average contrast in dark environments.
