If you're looking for a more affordable option, the Insignia F20 is less expensive than the Samsung N5200. However, the tradeoff is that the Samsung has better quality control and viewing angles, which might be important if you often watch TV with a group of people seated around the room. Neither TV performs particularly well in bright rooms or for watching sports, movies, and gaming; both have low picture quality. If sound is a concern, the Samsung has more powerful speakers. Both are basic 32-inch LCD models, so consider the Samsung if you're willing to invest more for slightly improved features and viewing angles. Give Feedback
