The Hisense UX is a top-tier choice for a premium viewing experience, especially in bright rooms and for gaming, thanks to its superior picture quality, high refresh rate, and excellent color performance. It's also future-proof with advanced HDR support and HDMI 2.1 ports, making it ideal for the latest gaming consoles. However, it comes at a significantly higher price point. On the other hand, the Insignia F30 offers decent performance for a budget-friendly price, with good upscaling and motion processing, which is great for casual viewing, including news and daytime TV. It's a more cost-effective option if you're not looking for high-end features or if you're planning to use it in a well-lit room where its brightness capabilities won't be as critical. The F30's sound quality is also better than average for built-in speakers. Consider the Hisense UX if you prioritize a superior picture and gaming experience and are willing to invest more, but if you're looking for a TV that provides good value for everyday use without breaking the bank, the Insignia F30 is a solid choice.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX delivers a very good movie watching experience with its high contrast and excellent black uniformity which are crucial for dark scenes, whereas the Insignia F30 suffers with its poor contrast and inferior black uniformity, resulting in less impactful dark scenes and washed out blacks. Additionally, while colors out of the box and color volume are somewhat important as well, the superior performance of the Hisense UX in these very important factors significantly outweighs its capabilities in the less critical areas when compared to the Insignia F30.

The Hisense UX (LCD) and Insignia F30 (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Hisense UX (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense UX offers a fair experience for sports with low response time and average motion processing, but its reflections handling and viewing angles are less impressive, which can be a downside in a bright room or with a wide seating arrangement. Meanwhile, the Insignia F30 is also fair for sports due to its decent motion processing and minimal blur in fast-moving scenes; however, it struggles with reflections and has narrow viewing angles, making it less suitable for group viewing in well-lit environments.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX is better for gaming primarily because it has a very good response time and input lag is good, which means it reacts faster to gaming actions and commands. On the other hand, the Insignia F30, with its poor response time and equally good input lag, doesn't react as swiftly, negatively impacting gaming performance.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX delivers vibrant colors straight out of the box and offers a wider color gamut, which is crucial for the vividness needed in cartoons and animation, while the Insignia F30 tends to fall short in these areas, presenting poorer color volume and a limited color gamut, leading to less impressive animation and cartoon visuals.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX excels in upscaling lower resolution content and delivers superior brightness for standard dynamic range (SDR) content, which is essential for clear images in news and talk shows.

"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."
