If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Insignia F20 2024 is significantly cheaper. However, it generally offers poor performance across the board, with only fair gray uniformity and good viewing angle being its notable aspects, making it suitable for casual content consumption in undemanding situations. On the other hand, the Sony X80K, while more expensive, provides better overall picture quality, very good gaming experience, and good performance when watching sports or in bright rooms. It also has lower input lag and significantly better motion processing, colors, and sound quality, ideal for a diverse range of content from movies to news. Additionally, the Sony model supports various HDR formats including Dolby Vision, which enhances the viewing experience for compatible content. If you often watch in bright rooms or care about picture fidelity and additional features like HDR, the Sony X80K would be a better choice. Give Feedback

"The Sony Bravia X80K is an inexpensive LCD TV that turns out pleasing visuals and is armed with a number of other desirable features. Sony’s robust internal processing, results in generally better picture quality than you’ll usually get for this price. In practice, the X80K is satisfying to watch. You’re not going to get as sumptuous a picture as you may with other TVs from Sony or other companies, but we didn’t encounter anything that looked bad on it."
