If you're on a budget and prefer to save money, the Insignia F30 is much less expensive and still offers a decent overall picture quality for various content like sports and animation. However, it falls short in darker rooms due to its lower dark room performance. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while much more expensive, delivers superior picture quality, particularly in bright rooms, and has better performance with movies and gaming. Additionally, it supports more HDR formats, including Dolby Vision and HLG, making it more suitable for high-quality streaming and Blu-ray content. Keep in mind that both TVs may not have great speakers, so you may want to consider a separate sound system for either choice. Give Feedback

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Insignia F30 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Insignia F30 has fair handling of reflections and poor response time, which can impact clarity during fast-paced sports action but does well against glare. The Vizio Quantum Pro, on the other hand, offers very good reflection handling and very good response time, providing clearer motion in sports but at a higher cost and may still present glare issues in very bright rooms.

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."
