Insignia F30 (LCD) vs LG G3 (OLED)

The Insignia F30's subpar contrast, lack of local dimming, and mediocre black uniformity result in a less immersive movie-watching experience, especially in dark scenes. Conversely, the LG G3 excels with perfect contrast, effective local dimming, and superior black uniformity, providing a captivating cinematic experience with vibrant colors and deep blacks.

The LG G3 (OLED) is regarded as very good for watching sports because of its excellent response time and motion processing, which minimize blur during fast action, and its outstanding reflections handling and wide viewing angles that maintain picture quality from different seating positions. The Insignia F30 (LCD), on the other hand, has a fair performance in response time and motion processing, making it less ideal for dynamic sports content, and while it handles reflections decently and offers suitable viewing angles, it falls short of the superior performance of the LG G3 in these aspects.

The Insignia F30 has poor response time which can affect the fluidity of movement in games, whereas the LG G3 has excellent response time, providing much smoother motion. Furthermore, the LG G3 has the best input lag performance for gaming, meaning it reacts quicker to your actions than the Insignia F30, which has very good input lag but not quite as fast as the LG.

The LG G3 OLED exhibits vibrant and accurate colors right out of the box and possesses an excellent color gamut, enhancing the viewing experience for cartoons and animation. In contrast, the Insignia F30 LCD struggles with color accuracy initially and has a poor color gamut, which can result in less engaging and vivid animations.

The Insignia F30 has poor SDR brightness and upscaling capabilities, which makes it less suitable for watching news and TV programs, especially in brightly lit environments or when viewing lower resolution content. In contrast, the LG G3 offers excellent SDR brightness and upscaling, producing vibrant colors and sharp images, ensuring a high-quality viewing experience for news and talk shows regardless of the original content resolution.

The Insignia F30 has lower SDR and HDR brightness, affecting its performance under ambient light, plus it has only fair reflection handling, therefore it doesn't suit bright rooms well. On the other hand, the LG G3 provides excellent SDR and HDR brightness levels and the best reflections handling, ensuring clear visibility and image quality even in bright environments.
