If budget is your primary concern, the Insignia F30 2024 is a cost-effective choice. However, if you value picture quality and are willing to invest more, the Samsung QN95B offers significant improvements, especially in bright rooms. For watching movies, sports, or gaming, the Samsung QN95B will provide a much better experience with its higher picture quality scores, and its great sound system could enhance your audio experience without additional speakers. The Insignia may serve basic TV needs but may falter in a bright environment. If using the TV as a monitor, the Samsung also stands out with better support for various formats and chroma subsampling, which can be important for text clarity and color detail. Give Feedback
