If you are on a budget and need a smaller screen, the Insignia F20 2024 might work for you, but it has poor overall picture quality and is not ideal for gaming or watching in bright rooms. On the other hand, the Samsung Q80B is more expensive but offers good picture quality, is very good for gaming, and handles reflections better, making it more suitable for bright rooms. For those who prioritize a higher quality viewing experience for a variety of content, including movies and sports, the Samsung Q80B would be the better choice, despite the higher price point. Keep in mind, though, that it may not offer the best experience for very wide seating arrangements due to its viewing angles. Give Feedback

"For most people its picture, sound, and price make it a midrange TV worth considering. HDR brightness was generally exceptional. Its viewing angles are shockingly good, among the very best we’ve seen recently from any non-OLED TV. For gamers input lag isn’t too shabby."
