If saving money is your priority, the Insignia F30 may be the better choice, though be aware it has poor performance across most viewing content including sports, movies, and gaming, and it's not suitable for bright rooms. The Toshiba C350LU, despite being more expensive, offers better colors right out of the box and supports a wider range of HDR formats, which could enhance your viewing experience for HDR content. However, both TVs have poor overall picture quality and may not be the best option for a primary viewing TV, especially in well-lit environments or for critical viewing. The Toshiba also includes voice command features, which might add to the convenience if you value voice control functionality. Give Feedback
