They both have tuners actually, and Full HD and 1080p areinterchangeable, they both mean 1920x1080 pixels. That’s why I’m asking because they’re so similar, same inputs, same resolution, but different firmwares and possibly different panels but no one has confirmed that to me yet.

But they could be using the same panel for all we know, but th firmware’s seems to be different and I’m wondering if the Visio standard firmware or the smartcast firmware is better.

I'm helping a friend pick out a TV, the largest one he can fit in his space is 32" and he would prefer it be 1080p and have some 'smart' functionality. He's also on a budget, $200 or less, we scoured local sale sites for used higher-end models and nothing good has come up (and I don't trust someone shipping something as big as a TV from somewhere like ebay), so he's settling on getting something new. After searching through TVs from all major brands, we found 2 from Vizio that fit his criteria and are in budget. Option 1 - the D-series 32", and Option 2 - the E-series 32" The E-series has smartcast (really don't know what makes this much better than built in apps), but the D-series is a 2017 model whereas the E appears to be a 2016, so it's panel could be better, right? Can anyone advise on which is better and maybe point out any differences that aren't shown on Vizio's site?

What makes the D series better though?
