The Amazon Omni QLED offers better overall picture quality, is better suited for movies and dark room viewing, and has higher contrast and brightness scores, which means richer colors and more detailed scenes in both standard and high dynamic range content. It has a midrange price point but typically costs much more than the Insignia F30.
The Insignia F30, on the other hand, is positioned as a budget option, costing significantly less. While it offers adequate performance, its picture quality, contrast, and brightness are notably lower than the Amazon Omni. It does have a slight edge in color accuracy out of the box but is less suited for dark room viewing due to its lower black uniformity.
If picture quality, especially in darker settings, and a more feature-rich TV is priority and you're okay with a higher price, go for the Amazon Omni QLED. However, if you are looking to save money and need a TV that performs adequately for various content types, the Insignia F30 may meet your needs, particularly in brighter rooms. Give Feedback

The Amazon Omni QLED delivers a good SDR brightness and performs well at upscaling, making it suitable for watching news and TV programs in various lighting conditions and ensuring lower-resolution content looks clear. Conversely, the Insignia F30 struggles with SDR brightness and has poorer upscaling, resulting in a less ideal viewing experience for daily programming, particularly in bright rooms.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair for bright room, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED has a better SDR brightness and handles reflections more effectively than the Insignia F30, making it more suitable for viewing in bright rooms. However, the Insignia F30's lower performance in both these aspects, especially with poor SDR brightness, makes it less ideal for well-lit environments.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and Insignia F30 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Amazon Omni QLED is fair for watching sports, partly due to its adequate response time that reduces motion blur, but its limited viewing angles and just acceptable performance on handling reflections could detract from the group viewing experience. Meanwhile, the Insignia F30 also provides a fair performance while watching sports, as while it offers wider viewing angles that are useful for larger groups, its lower response time could lead to more noticeable motion blur during fast-paced scenes, and it similarly has moderate performance in handling reflections. Gray uniformity, which affects the display of large areas of similar color, such as a sports field, is somewhat important for both and is decent for each model..

How the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and the Insignia F30 (LCD) compare to other TVs
"This really is a TV designed for the streaming generation ... And it’s good to see support for both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision because it means more of the content you stream will be available in HDR. Overall, the Omni QLED is an impressive TV. It’s pretty bright, has good contrast and – thanks to those quantum dots – vibrant colours."
"Still one of the best bargain TVs. The best feature remains its quick and responsive implementation of Fire TV OS and all the goodies that come with it. Having Alexa inside the Insignia 4K Ultra HD Fire TV Edition brings a lot of value, from voice control of TV functions to access to your smart home devices."
