If you're on a tight budget, the Vizio D-Series might be the better option since it is less expensive and performs well for cartoons and animation, reflecting its good color quality. However, it has poor gaming performance and struggles in bright rooms. The Insignia F30 is more costly but offers better color accuracy out of the box and has an extra HDMI port which may be important if you plan to connect multiple devices. Both TVs have their limitations with overall picture and motion quality, so neither would be ideal for a premium viewing experience, particularly for sports or gaming. If you need a TV for a sunny room or one to double as a computer monitor, both models might not be suitable because of their poor bright room and reflection handling. Give Feedback

"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."

"A Full HD TV that has the wits of most 4K TVs at a bottom-barrel price point. It has decent black levels thanks to its full array lighting and the above-par brightness will surprise you. Compared to the competition, the Vizio D-Series is probably the most affordable TV out there from a reputable manufacturer which makes it compelling."
