Pros
Pro Excellent dark scene performance

Additionally, the blacks don't look washed-out or degraded due to the TV's high black uniformity that measures at the 0.6% standard deviation - something only high-end TVs can offer.

Pro Ads-free

Pro Fair motion handling
The motion on this TV looks smooth and clear thanks to the TV's pixels that can change their colors very fast as well as the optional black frame insertion feature that works at a high frequency.
The TV's full pixel response time measures at only 12.1 ms - fast enough to eliminate long traces of the artificial motion blur.

Cons
Con Ads
The main interface of the Samsung Q6FN contains ads and suggested content.
Con Bad for group watching
The VIZIO D-Series isn't the best TV to watch with a crowd because those who sit at an angle to the TV will experience degraded image because of the TV's lousy viewing angles. As soon as the angle between the viewer and a TV gets more significant than 13 degrees, the black levels start to degrade. This is a common problem for the VA TVs.
Con Can't fight glare
The VIZIO D-Series is a poor choice for bright rooms because the TV's peak brightness is not high enough to fight glare emitted by other sources of light.
