If you're looking for an affordable option and primarily watch in a dark room, the Insignia F20 might be suitable; however, its performance in bright rooms and picture quality for various content like movies, sports, and gaming is not as strong. On the other hand, the TCL R745 offers better gaming capabilities, motion processing, and supports more advanced HDR formats like Dolby Vision, which could significantly enhance your movie-watching experience, but comes at a higher cost. The TCL model also provides a larger screen size, which might be more immersive for a home theater setup but could be overwhelming in a small space. Keep in mind that both TVs have limitations in picture quality, so consider how important this aspect is for your viewing experience when making your decision. Give Feedback

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.
