If you have a limited budget and don't mind a TV with basic performance, the Insignia F20 could be suitable; however, its overall picture quality and performance in dark or bright rooms are inferior. On the other hand, the Hisense R6G, while more expensive, offers slightly better picture quality, contrast, and supports more HDR formats like Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which enhance the viewing experience of compatible content. Given that both TVs have relatively poor gaming and motion processing capabilities, they are not ideal for fast-action content or gaming. If voice commands and a somewhat clearer image in a controlled lighting situation are more important to you, the Hisense R6G has the edge. Give Feedback
