If you're looking for a more affordable option and can tolerate lower picture quality, the Insignia F20 could be suitable. However, it faces challenges in bright rooms and doesn't excel in any particular content type, making it less versatile. The Samsung Q60C, while more expensive, offers better picture quality and viewing experience for a variety of content, including sports and cartoons. It also has better build quality and more features, such as HDR support, which enhances viewing experience for compatible content. If you frequently watch in a bright room or want a TV that performs better across different types of content and includes modern features, the Samsung Q60C is preferable, despite its higher cost.
