If you're looking for a more affordable option, the Insignia F30 is significantly less expensive and offers decent overall picture quality, which is suitable for general viewing and has good animation performance, making it a solid choice for casual watching and cartoons.
On the other hand, the LG NANO75 is priced higher but provides a better experience for sports content and has a slightly improved bright room performance. It also has a higher color accuracy out of the box, wider color gamut, and better viewing angles, which could be important if you often have multiple people watching from different positions.
Neither TV is exceptional in dark rooms, and both have limitations when it comes to high dynamic range content due to their brightness capabilities. For gaming, both are fairly similar with a slight edge on the LG model.
The decision should weigh your budget against your viewing preferences. If cost is a major factor and your viewing habits are not demanding, the Insignia F30 would be sufficient. However, if you prioritize sports viewing, more accurate colors, and have a wider seating arrangement, the LG NANO75 could justify its higher price. Give Feedback

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and Insignia F30 (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG NANO75 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Insignia F30 and LG NANO75 are both in the same range when it comes to watching sports, with fair reflection handling, but they fall behind in motion processing and response time which are very important for sports viewing. However, the LG NANO75 slightly outperforms the Insignia F30 in motion processing and response time, and it handles reflections better, while both have similar poor viewing angles and gray uniformity, which are also notable but less critical factors.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) is only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Insignia F30 falls short in upscaling lower-resolution content such as standard definition, which is common in news broadcasting, and displays poorer colors out of the box, making it less suitable for viewing TV programs that don't benefit from post-calibration. On the other hand, the LG NANO75 is better at upscaling which enhances the clarity of such broadcasts and provides better colors straight out of the box, lending itself to a more satisfying viewing experience for news, talk shows, and other TV programs without additional adjustments.

The Insignia F30 (LCD) and LG NANO75 (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The Insignia F30 and LG NANO75 both have poor performance in watching movies and cinematic TV primarily due to their limited contrast, lack of local dimming, and subpar black uniformity, which are crucial for deep blacks and rich picture quality in dark scenes. Additionally, their mediocre colors out of the box, color volume, and gray uniformity, along with average viewing angles, further hinder their ability to deliver a more immersive and consistent viewing experience across various content and seating arrangements.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and Insignia F30 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Insignia F30 has a poor response time, which can cause motion blur during fast-paced games, and the LG NANO75, while having a very good input lag, also falls short in response time, leading to less crisp transitions between frames. Both TVs may not suit fast gaming due to these shortcomings, as quick reactions and clear images are essential for a good gaming experience.
