Westinghouse WD24HX1201
Score: 54/100
Vizio VFD40M-08
Score: 90/100Rankings
The VIZIO VFD40M-08 delivers a premium-looking Full Array LED panel with HDR and advanced pixel tuning at a budget price, complemented by DTS Virtual:X audio and Bluetooth headphone support. While its picture and sound stand out, the lack of Ethernet, ARC and a 4K panel keep it from competing in higher-end segments.
The Westinghouse 24-inch HD LED TV is a basic, non-smart set with solid connectivity options and low power draw, suited for secondary-room or dorm use. Its low resolution, weak audio and lack of network features keep it from competing with more feature-rich models.
