If you value a TV that enhances your room's aesthetics with the ability to display art and photos when not in use, the Samsung The Frame 2022 stands out; however, this TV must be wall mounted, which may require additional effort and cost for installation. The Samsung offers good overall picture quality and performs well in bright rooms but falls short for gaming. On the other hand, the Insignia F30 is significantly less expensive with an emphasis on affordability, though it compromises on picture quality across various content including movies, sports, and gaming, and is not as well-suited for bright room viewing. Both TVs offer budget-friendly options, but your choice will ultimately depend on whether you prioritize the television's decorative element and picture quality in brighter settings or are looking for a more cost-effective solution with basic features.

"Still one of the best bargain TVs. The best feature remains its quick and responsive implementation of Fire TV OS and all the goodies that come with it. Having Alexa inside the Insignia 4K Ultra HD Fire TV Edition brings a lot of value, from voice control of TV functions to access to your smart home devices."
"The biggest, and most jarring, difference is the revolutionary matte, anti-glare coating on the 2022’s display. Not only does it solve my daytime glare problem of being in a corner apartment, but it somehow adds texture to anything being displayed. The Frame is a home run for anyone looking to add fashion to their function."
