If you're on a tight budget and mainly watch TV in rooms without a lot of light, the Insignia F30 could work for you, though you won't get the best picture quality or gaming experience. On the other hand, if you're willing to spend more for significantly enhanced picture quality, especially for movies and gaming, and if you want better performance in both bright and dark rooms, the TCL Q7 would be a better choice. It doesn't perform as well at wider viewing angles, so the viewing experience might degrade if you're not sitting directly in front of it. The TCL also supports advanced features like higher refresh rates for smoother motion and a wider color gamut for more vibrant images, and it is better suited for use as a monitor. Give Feedback

About Insignia
Insignia is an in-house brand from BestBuy. It offers a range of TV sets that are lower-end and smaller size. They are manufactured in China by Hisense, which is another TV brand. Insignia TVs use Amazon's Fire OS as the smart TV software, providing users with a highly user-friendly experience.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
