If price is your primary concern and you're looking for a basic TV, the Insignia F20 might be suitable as it is less expensive. However, it has poor performance across most content types including movies, sports, and gaming, and it's not ideal for very dark or bright rooms. In contrast, the LG UP8000, despite being more expensive, offers better performance for mixed content like sports and news, and has superior upscaling for lower resolution content. It also has a good reflection handling for brighter rooms and wider viewing angles, making it a better choice if you often watch TV with a group. The LG model supports more HDR formats, which enhances the viewing experience for compatible content. If sound is a concern, the LG UP8000 has more powerful speakers. Give Feedback

"What we liked on this one was the very sharp 4K images it could display, its good up-scaling capabilities, nice viewing angles and extremely low input lag. Lastly the new webOS 6.0 is great even if it needs some time to get your bearings while the redesigned Magic Remote feels fresh even if functionality remains the same."
