The Hisense A6H usually costs more but offers advantages like better response time which is ideal for gaming and movies, and higher brightness which suits well-lit rooms better. It also has a smoother smart platform for streaming and more inputs which could be useful if you have multiple devices. On the other hand, the Insignia F30 may have a lower price and while its performance in well-lit rooms and smart features are not on par with the Hisense A6H, it still offers a good overall picture quality and is capable of handling general viewing needs.

The Insignia F30 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The Hisense A6H and Insignia F30 both have poor performance for movies and cinematic TV primarily due to low contrast and lack of efficiency in local dimming and black uniformity, which are crucial for deep blacks and high dynamic range. Additionally, both TVs may not display colors as vibrantly due to limited color volume, and their subpar gray uniformity alongside narrow viewing angles can further detract from an immersive viewing experience.

The Hisense A6H (LCD) and Insignia F30 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H has better viewing angles, making it better for a group watching sports, however, its response to fast-moving images is poor which may lead to blur during fast games. The Insignia F30 also has fair reflection handling and poor response time, along with a slightly worse viewing angle, meaning it could also struggle with fast-paced sports and in bright rooms, but it won't be as good as the Hisense A6H for viewers sitting off to the side.

The Insignia F30 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense A6H and the Insignia F30 are poor choices for watching cartoons and animation due to their poor color gamut, which limits the range of colors they display, making vibrant animated content less lively. Both TVs also struggle with color volume, which affects the fullness and richness of colors, particularly noticeable in animated genres that often use a wide array of bold colors.

Michael Gowan | August 2021
"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."
