Choosing between the Hisense U6G and the Insignia F30 depends on how much you value picture quality and performance over cost savings. The Hisense U6G offers better overall picture quality, with stronger contrast, color, and brightness, making it a good fit for movie enthusiasts and a better performer in dark-room viewing. However, it is more expensive than the Insignia F30. On the other hand, the Insignia F30, being more affordable, offers decent performance for its price but may not deliver the same picture quality, especially in a dark room. If you frequently watch TV in a brightly lit room or are less concerned about top-tier picture quality, the Insignia F30 could offer you a good balance between performance and cost. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6G is favored for watching cartoons and animation as it displays colors effectively right out of the box and covers a wide color gamut, resulting in vibrant and accurate colors. On the other hand, the Insignia F30 struggles in these aspects, exhibiting less impressive out-of-the-box color performance and a narrower color gamut, which translates to less vivid and inaccurate colors for animated content.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6G performs better for news, talk shows, and other TV programs due to its superior upscaling ability and higher SDR brightness, which enhances visibility and clarity of standard definition content, and its fair color performance out of the box is usually sufficient for these types of content. In comparison, the Insignia F30 is rated poorly for these programs because it struggles with upscaling lower-resolution content and has lower SDR brightness, resulting in a less clear picture, and despite very good color out of the box, its poor color gamut limits the quality of displayed content.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6G is a better choice for bright rooms because it has a significantly higher SDR brightness, which helps combat glare, and it handles reflections better than the Insignia F30. Although both TVs are rated the same for reflection handling, the U6G has better contrast and color performance, which contribute to a clearer and more vibrant picture in well-lit environments.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) and Insignia F30 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6G has good response time, which is valuable for sports enthusiasts seeking minimal motion blur, but its performance in bright environments might be compromised due to only a fair rating in handling reflections. On the other hand, the Insignia F30 offers good viewing angles, allowing more people to watch the game without color fading from the sides, but has a poor response time, which can lead to more noticeable motion blur during fast-paced sports action.

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."
