Choosing between the Insignia F20 and the Hisense U6H depends on what you value most. If price is your main concern and you need a basic TV, the Insignia F20 offers a very budget-friendly option, though its overall picture quality and performance on various content like gaming, sports, and movies are poor. On the other hand, the Hisense U6H, while costing more, provides good picture quality, supports advanced features like Dolby Vision and HDR10+ for enhanced movie-watching, and has better sound. However, its viewing angle is poor, so it isn't ideal if you'll have people watching from the sides. If you regularly watch in bright rooms, the Hisense U6H is a better choice, as it performs well in such environments, unlike the Insignia F20. Additionally, if you're interested in using your TV for gaming, the Hisense U6H is a fair option, whereas the Insignia F20 might not meet your needs. Give Feedback

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | March 2023
"A budget TV that exceeds expectations. (...) For a TV that costs as little as this one does, its brightness and color are above-average (...) The U6H may not get quite as bright as its splashier siblings, but for its class, it fares pretty well. (...) As far as input lag, the U6H is an impressive performer. (...) Costing less than most of its direct competitors, and matching or bettering them in several key areas, it’s an irresistible value proposition. (...)"
