If saving money is a priority, the Insignia F20 might be suitable, but its overall performance is lower, particularly in a bright room or for gaming. The LG UP7000, while more expensive, offers slightly better performance for sports and has wider HDR support, which can enhance movie viewing. Both TVs have poor ratings for dark room viewing, but the LG has a slightly better score for bright rooms, and a significantly better input lag score, making it more suitable for casual gaming. However, keep in mind that neither of these are top performers, and you may want to consider other options if picture quality or gaming are important to you. Give Feedback
