The Insignia F30 is a budget-friendly choice and is generally less expensive than the Samsung Frame Series. The Insignia F30 is a practical option for casual viewing, including news and animated content. It also has decent capability as a computer monitor. On the other hand, the Samsung Frame Series comes at a premium price and offers a better overall viewing experience, including for movies and sports. It's particularly well-suited for gaming, with higher performance, and excels in bright room conditions. Moreover, it supports more advanced HDR formats, which can enhance picture quality for compatible content. If cost is a major concern, the Insignia F30 is a suitable option, but for a higher investment, the Samsung Frame Series provides a more premium experience, especially for gaming and bright room viewing.

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."
