If you are looking for a budget-friendly option, the Insignia F20 might be suitable, but keep in mind it has lower performance in a bright room and for high dynamic range (HDR) content. It is not the best choice for dark room viewing either, and its overall picture quality is average. However, if you are willing to invest in a superior viewing experience and pay more, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers significantly better picture quality, especially in bright rooms. It also has better performance for gaming, sports, and movie watching. Additionally, the Vizio Quantum Pro supports advanced HDR formats which can enhance the viewing experience for compatible content. Give Feedback

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Insignia F20 (LCD) is poor.
The Insignia F20 is considered poor for movies and cinematic TV primarily due to its very low contrast, lack of local dimming, and poor black uniformity, which result in faded blacks and less detailed dark scenes. Conversely, the Vizio Quantum Pro is considered fair for the same content because it offers significantly better contrast, effective local dimming, and relatively better black uniformity, leading to more vibrant colors and deeper blacks for an overall improved viewing experience.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Insignia F20 (LCD) is poor.
The Insignia F20 has poor response time and input lag which means it's not as responsive for gaming, and its lower refresh rate of 60Hz could make fast-moving content less smooth compared to TVs with higher refresh rates. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro, with its very good response time and input lag, will provide a more responsive gaming experience and it likely has a higher refresh rate which is beneficial for smooth gameplay.
