If your budget allows and picture quality is important to you, the Hisense U6H would be the better choice, delivering a good overall picture with better performance in both dark and bright rooms. It's also a more versatile option for varied content like movies, sports, and cartoons. However, if price is a major concern and you're less focused on picture quality, the Insignia F30 is a budget-friendly option that offers decent performance for the price. The Hisense has slightly better gaming performance, but neither TV is particularly strong in this area. The Hisense will provide a better experience for HDR content with its support for HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG, while the Insignia lacks these features. In terms of sound, neither TV has great speakers, so you may want to consider adding a soundbar to either model. Both TVs are lacking when it comes to wide viewing angles, so keep that in mind if you often watch TV from side seats. Give Feedback

"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. (...)"
