If you're on a tight budget and looking for a smaller screen, the Insignia F20 might be suitable, but it doesn't perform well across most viewing experiences, including movies, sports, and gaming. On the other hand, the Hisense A65K costs more but offers a larger screen, better overall performance for a range of content including cartoons and news, and supports more advanced features like HDR, which will enhance the viewing experience for compatible content. The Hisense is also more future-proof with its newer release date and additional features like voice commands. The Insignia may save you money up front, but the Hisense could provide a more satisfying viewing experience, especially in brighter rooms and for varied content types. Give Feedback

"The A65K proved to be a rather capable TV that works great within its extreme limitations that its price dictates. It has great contrast, very low input lag and good color coverage. Add Google TV and a low price in the mix and you have an excellent low budget offering."
