If you're looking for an affordable TV, the Insignia F30 is much less expensive and has decent performance for everyday viewing in bright rooms but falls short in dark room settings due to lower contrast and black uniformity. On the other hand, the LG B2 is more expensive but offers superior picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and is better suited for gaming with higher refresh rates and response times. If you mainly watch movies or play video games and can invest more, consider the LG B2. For general TV watching in brighter environments and where budget is a major concern, the Insignia F30 can be sufficient. Give Feedback

The LG B2 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is only fair.
The Insignia F30's LCD screen has a lower response time and lacks the superior motion processing found in the LG B2's OLED panel, which is why it's only fair for watching sports, while the LG B2 excels due to its best-in-class response time and better motion handling. Additionally, the LG B2's OLED technology provides much wider viewing angles and handles reflections excellently, making it very good for sports viewing, compared to the Insignia F30 which has limited viewing angles and only fair reflection handling.

The LG B2 (OLED) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The LG B2 (OLED) provides a better experience for watching news and TV programs than the Insignia F30 (LCD) due to its superior SDR brightness, which ensures clear visuals even in well-lit environments, and better upscaling quality that makes lower resolution content look sharper. Furthermore, the LG B2 boasts more accurate colors right out of the box and a wider color gamut which contributes to more vibrant and lifelike images, whereas the Insignia F30 falls short in these areas.

"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."

"The LG B2 OLED pairs lush, saturated colors and perfect contrast with a 120Hz screen, HDMI 2.1 ports and a great smart TV platform. The LG B2 OLED is an ideal alternative to the LG C2 OLED for folks who want a taste of OLED life without the sticker price that usually comes with it. The LG B2 OLED does a lot right in terms of performance, color saturation is wonderful and contrast is second-to-none. Not only did color saturation and off-axis viewing impress me, harder to quantify specs like motion processing and upscaling really blew me away as well."
