The Insignia F30 is a budget-friendly choice and is less expensive. The Samsung Q60B costs more but offers better picture quality, especially in bright rooms, and supports more HDR formats, which can make a difference if you watch a lot of high-quality movies or play games that take advantage of these features. If saving money is more important to you and you watch mostly in well-lit rooms, the Insignia F30 could suffice. But if you're willing to invest more for improved picture quality and enhanced HDR support, especially in varied lighting conditions, the Samsung Q60B would be a better option. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Insignia F30 falls short in producing deep blacks and has poor contrast due to its low black uniformity and lack of local dimming, which is crucial for watching movies and cinematic content in dark environments. Conversely, the Samsung Q60B, while also lacking local dimming, offers a better experience with its higher contrast and better black uniformity, but limited viewing angles and gray uniformity could still detract from the viewing experience for some users.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Insignia F30 struggles with watching cartoons and animation because it does not display colors well out of the box and has a poor color gamut, affecting the vibrancy and range of colors. In contrast, the Samsung Q60B is very good for these genres as it offers excellent colors out of the box and a good color gamut, allowing it to produce a wider spectrum of rich and accurate colors.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Insignia F30 (LCD) is poor.
The Insignia F30 may not be ideal for watching news and TV programs because it has poor upscaling and lower SDR brightness, leading to less clear and dimmer images, whereas the Samsung Q60B, with better upscaling and SDR brightness, will provide clearer and brighter images suitable for these types of content. Moreover, the Samsung Q60B's superior colors out of the box and color gamut ensure a more vibrant and accurate viewing experience compared to the Insignia F30, which is important when viewing content with varied color palettes like news and talk shows.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Insignia F30 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Insignia F30's response time for fast-moving sports is below average while the Samsung Q60B also struggles with response time, leading to potential motion blur in both models. Both TVs handle reflections adequately, but the Insignia F30 offers a wider viewing angle which could be more comfortable for group watching; however, neither excels in gray uniformity which affects the appearance of playing fields during sports broadcasts.

"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."

"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
