If you're on a budget and want basic functionality, consider the Insignia F20. Although it costs less, it's important to note that its performance in picture quality, gaming, and viewing in both dark and bright rooms is poor. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more, the TCL R655 offers very good picture quality and excellent performance for gaming and watching movies, particularly in dark rooms. However, it may not be the best choice for brightly lit rooms as it falls short in gray and black uniformity. The TCL R655 also has a higher refresh rate and better color performance out of the box, which may be important if you're interested in watching high-quality content or gaming. Keep in mind that the Insignia's larger viewing angle could be beneficial in a room where viewers are seated in different positions relative to the screen. Give Feedback

wired
Parker Hall | January 2023
"It has an excellent Roku interface, isn’t too expensive, has quantum dots and mini LED backlighting, and looks genuinely fantastic playing everything. If you’re in the market for a new TV, you should still start here. Gamers will like that it has a 120-Hz refresh rate at 4K, which is the maximum that a modern Xbox or Playstation 5 will put out—meaning the smoothest possible gaming and sports viewing in general. We’re no longer in the days of having to spend over $1,000 and spending a few hours on setup for decent black levels and great color accuracy and HDR"

About Insignia
Insignia is an in-house brand from BestBuy. It offers a range of TV sets that are lower-end and smaller size. They are manufactured in China by Hisense, which is another TV brand. Insignia TVs use Amazon's Fire OS as the smart TV software, providing users with a highly user-friendly experience.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
