The Vizio 24-inch D-Series (D24f-F1) is small enough to sit on a desk or coffee table and costs less than certain Blu-ray boxed sets. The 24-inch television features full-HD resolution and the SmartCast streaming media platform. The Vizio 24-inch D-Series (D24f-F1) is the most affordable member of Vizio’s inexpensive D-Series series. It gets this distinction by being the smallest option and by eschewing 4K resolution in favour of a full-HD display. The 24-inch Vizio D24f-F1 provides a handy combination of smart features and budget-friendly performance.
The D-Series is surprisingly elegant for a low-cost television. With a small bezel around the screen, slim plastic legs, and a low-profile design, the front of the D-Series appears quite contemporary. However, if you turn it on its side, you’ll notice that it’s not fully modern; the D-Series has a middle part that protrudes many inches. Here are the TV’s inputs and outputs, which include two HDMI ports (HDMI 1 supports ARC), composite-in, digital optical audio out, and 3.5mm aux.
Vizio has integrated its basic IQ Processor inside the television to handle motion processing and upscaling, as well as a full array panel. There are no listed contrast control zones for this TV, and the panel’s native refresh rate is merely 60Hz. The TV has a basic IR remote with shortcuts for Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, Crackle, and other services, as well as Vizio’s WatchFree service. If you desire more capability, you can download a SmartCast application if the remote does not include voice search.
The good news is that the majority of gamers will enjoy this television. It boasts a dedicated Game Mode with input lag of less than 10ms to ensure smooth gameplay, and its 1080p resolution is ideal for last-generation consoles such as the Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, audio is a mixed bag. Often, the audio we heard lacked midrange clarity, making dialogue difficult to understand, and lacked a wide soundstage.
This television incorporates Vizio’s SmartCast operating system, which relies on a combination of built-in Google Chromecast functionality and a few locally installed applications. Netflix, Amazon Prime video, Hulu, and a few others are among the pre-installed applications. The SmartCast operating system also provides a discovery option on the home screen that showcases movies and television series that are accessible via these local applications. Fans of home media servers will also welcome Plex integration, which allows you to stream all of the TV episodes and movies on your server directly to your television without any complex steps.
