Choose the Hisense A4H for a slightly better gaming experience and superior upscaling, which enhances the quality of lower-resolution content. It also handles reflections a bit better, making it a touch more suitable for bright rooms. However, the Insignia F20 has an edge in sound quality with its 2.0 speaker setup compared to the Hisense's 2.0, though both are budget models and may not satisfy audiophiles. Both TVs are comparable in most other aspects, including picture quality and viewing angles, which are average at best. The Hisense is typically a bit cheaper, which might tip the scales if budget is a concern. Neither is ideal for a dark room or for watching movies due to their poor contrast and black uniformity. If you're looking for a TV primarily for news, talk shows, or animated content and want slightly better sound, the Insignia F20 could be the way to go, but for a more rounded viewing experience with better reflection handling, opt for the Hisense A4H.

The Hisense A4H (LCD) and Insignia F20 (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The Hisense A4H and the Insignia F20 both showcase low contrast, lack local dimming, and have subpar black uniformity, all of which are crucial for a rich movie experience. Additionally, the limited colors out of the box and color volume, combined with poor gray uniformity and viewing angles, detract from the overall enjoyment of cinematic content on these TVs.

The Hisense A4H (LCD) and Insignia F20 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A4H fares better in handling reflections and motion processing, important for watching sports, but its viewing angles are limited, which could be a drawback for larger groups. The Insignia F20, although comparable in gray uniformity, falls short in reflection handling for bright rooms and motion handling, essential for fast-moving sports.

The Hisense A4H (LCD) and Insignia F20 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Hisense A4H and the Insignia F20 both have poor response times, which means on-screen action can be blurry during fast-paced games. Additionally, while the Hisense has very good input lag making it more responsive to input, the Insignia has poor input lag, which would extend the time between pressing a button and seeing the action on screen.

The Hisense A4H (LCD) and Insignia F20 (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense A4H struggles with cartoons & animation mainly due to colors that are not accurate out of the box and an unsatisfactory color gamut, which affects the vibrancy and range of colors displayed. Similarly, the Insignia F20 underperforms in portraying cartoons & animation because it has limited color reproduction capabilities and doesn't display colors accurately without calibration.

The Hisense A4H (LCD) and Insignia F20 (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The Hisense A4H struggles in bright rooms primarily due to its lower SDR and HDR brightness levels and fair performance in handling reflections, while the Insignia F20 also performs poorly in bright conditions with even lower brightness and poorer reflection handling. Both TVs may not display vivid colors in bright rooms as they have limited color volume and gamut, although this factor is somewhat less critical than brightness and reflection handling.
