If you're looking for a TV that's better for watching cartoons and animation, the Hisense A65K may be a better choice as it performs well in that area. However, it's also more expensive than the Insignia F30 2024. The Hisense A65K struggles with gaming and may not be ideal if you're a gamer. For bright room usage, both TVs have fair performance, but neither is particularly strong in this environment. If budget is a major concern, the Insignia F30 2024 could save you money, but be aware that its overall picture quality is rated poorer than the Hisense. Neither TV excels in sound quality, but the Insignia offers slightly more speaker power if that's a consideration for you. Both TVs support Dolby Vision and HLG HDR formats, which is beneficial for viewing high dynamic range content, but if you require HDR10+ support, only the Hisense has it. 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."
