If you're looking for an affordable option and have a tight budget, the Insignia F20 might be suitable, but it offers poor picture quality and is not ideal for most viewing content, including movies, sports, and gaming. The Samsung QN90C, on the other hand, is more expensive but provides very good overall picture quality, excellent performance in bright rooms, and is a strong choice for gaming. It has a higher sound quality and more advanced features such as voice commands and a variety of high dynamic range (HDR) formats, making it more future-proof. If picture quality and advanced features are important to you and you're willing to invest more, the Samsung QN90C is likely the better choice. However, if your primary concern is price and you're content with basic performance, the Insignia F20 could suffice. Give Feedback
