Compatibility
VIZIO 24-inch D-Series:
The smart features of the TV, unfortunately, fell short of expectations. While it does come with some pre-installed apps, the remote struggles to navigate them effectively. I found myself needing to purchase an external device like a Roku to access a wider range of streaming options, which was frustrating given that it was marketed as a smart TV.LG 24LQ520S-PU:
The availability of LG channels adds an extra layer of enjoyment and convenience, particularly as we transition away from traditional cable TV. It has also provided access to a variety of channels beyond just the basic network options.Conclusion

Overall Impression:
