If price is a major consideration for you and you primarily watch content in a darker environment, the Insignia F30 2024 will save you money, although it has poor performance in bright rooms and lower overall picture quality. On the other hand, the Samsung Q60A offers better picture and bright room performance, making it a better choice for varied lighting conditions and it also has better color performance 'out of the box'. Both TVs have their drawbacks in gaming and are comparable in connectivity, but if you want a generally more reliable experience and can spend a bit more, the Samsung Q60A is the better choice.

"The least expensive QLED is a solid choice for Samsung fans. Right out of the gate my eye was drawn to the Samsung. It is bright. The quantum dots let the Q60A produce far deeper, richer colors than the Vizio and TCL"
