If you are considering using the TV in a bright room, both the Insignia F30 and Insignia F30 2024 have poor performance, but they offer good viewing angles which could be suitable if you often watch TV from different positions around the room. For gaming and overall picture quality, neither TV is particularly strong, so if you're an avid gamer or very particular about the image quality, you might want to look at other options. Both models have fair scores for sports content, meaning they are acceptable for casual viewing but may not satisfy sports enthusiasts. The Insignia F30 2024 has slightly better capability as a monitor due to better support for chroma 4:4:4 subsampling, which is important if you plan to use it for computer-related tasks. Neither TV supports advanced HDR formats like HDR10+ or Dolby Vision, so if you're looking for the best HDR experience, these models might not be ideal. Both are very similar overall, with the key decision point being the slight edge the 2024 model has for use as a monitor. Give Feedback

Tom's guide
Michael Gowan | August 2021
"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."
