Cons
Con Can't fight glare
The Sony X690E is not the best TV to place in a bright room with lots of windows because it's not bright enough to fight glare. Its peak brightness is only 250 nits, which is noticeably less compared to what the other TVs in its price range offer.
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.
