If you're looking for the most cost-effective option, the Insignia F20 is significantly less expensive than the LG UP8000. However, the LG UP8000 has better overall qualities, such as fair motion processing and upscaling of lower resolution content, which are important if you enjoy watching sports or want a clearer image from non-HD channels. The LG UP8000 also offers superior sound quality with more speaker power, a higher color out of the box score, and supports HDR formats that the Insignia F20 does not. In brightly lit rooms, neither TV is ideal, but the LG has slightly better performance. If gaming is a priority, both TVs offer a 'Best in Class' input lag score but have poor overall gaming performance. Ultimately, it's a trade-off between saving money with the Insignia F20 or investing more in the LG UP8000 for a somewhat improved viewing experience. Give Feedback

Stratos Kampourogiannis | July 2021
"What we liked on this one was the very sharp 4K images it could display, its good up-scaling capabilities, nice viewing angles and extremely low input lag. Lastly the new webOS 6.0 is great even if it needs some time to get your bearings while the redesigned Magic Remote feels fresh even if functionality remains the same."
