If you are looking for a TV with a focus on gaming performance and frequently watch movies or series, the Hisense U7H would offer a superior experience. It supports advanced gaming features and offers overall better picture quality, which is especially noticeable in bright rooms and for dark room viewing. On the other hand, if budget is a primary concern and you're looking for a more cost-effective option, the Insignia F30 may serve you well. However, it won't perform as well in bright conditions and lacks some of the gaming capabilities present in the Hisense model. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7H is better suited for bright rooms due to its very good SDR and good HDR brightness, which help it display bright images even in well-lit environments, whereas the Insignia F30 falls short with poor ratings in both SDR and HDR brightness, resulting in dimmer images that are less visible in ambient light. Both TVs have fair reflections handling, but the Hisense's higher brightness capability gives it an advantage over the Insignia F30 in bright room conditions.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) and Insignia F30 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7H and Insignia F30 both are assessed as 'fair' for sports due to moderate motion processing capabilities; Hisense U7H struggles with response time which is crucial for fast-moving content, while the Insignia F30 has better response time but its reflections handling is average, which affects visibility in bright rooms. Meanwhile, the Hisense U7H has limited viewing angles that could affect group watching, but it performs adequately in handling reflections; the Insignia F30's wider viewing angles make it better for larger groups, yet its gray uniformity is just acceptable, potentially affecting the look of sports fields or courts.

Christian de Looper | December 2022
"We loved the Hisense U7H. It was able to deliver an excellent all-around image quality in its price range. The TV excels at controlling its backlighting in a way that ensures you’ll never experience blooming to a level of being distracting, something that I was a little surprised to see given the lack of Mini LED. The TV doesn’t just get decently bright it offers relatively accurate color reproduction for a TV in this price range. The TV is being billed excellent for gaming."

"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."
