The TCL S334 (LCD) and Insignia F20 (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The Insignia F20 and the TCL S334 have poor contrast ratios and lack a local dimming feature, which are crucial for deep blacks and image depth in movie scenes; they also struggle with black uniformity, resulting in inconsistent dark scenes. Both TVs show colors out of the box and have fairly wide viewing angles, yet they underperform in creating a broad color volume and maintaining gray uniformity, diminishing the vibrancy and consistency critical for cinematic content.

The TCL S334 (LCD) and Insignia F20 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
Both the Insignia F20 and TCL S334 are considered fair for watching sports; however, the Insignia F20 has poor response time which may result in motion blur during fast-paced scenes, while the TCL S334 offers a fair response time, providing a slightly smoother experience. The TCL S334 handles reflections well compared to the Insignia F20, making it the better choice in bright rooms, but both TVs have limited viewing angles, which can affect the image when viewed from the side.

The TCL S334 (LCD) and Insignia F20 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Insignia F20 and the TCL S334 are considered poor options for gaming because they both have slow response times and high input lag, which can lead to blurry images and a delay between player actions and on-screen reactions, respectively. Neither of these TVs offers a high refresh rate that would make fast-paced gaming smoother, further limiting their gaming performance.

The TCL S334 (LCD) and Insignia F20 (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The Insignia F20 (LCD) and TCL S334 (LCD) both have poor color gamut scores, which means they can't display a wide range of colors, making them less ideal for watching cartoons and animation which often rely on vibrant and varied colors. Additionally, the Insignia F20's poor score for "Colors Out of the Box" suggests that its default color settings might not be suitable without adjustment, whereas the TCL S334, with a better score in this category, may offer more accurate colors when first used.

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.
