If saving money is your top priority, the Insignia F30 would be the more cost-effective option. On the other hand, if you're interested in a slightly better picture for movies, sports, and general viewing, and additional features like HDR support formats such as Dolby Vision and HDR10+, the TCL S470G would be the better pick despite being somewhat more expensive. Both TVs may not perform well in bright rooms due to their poor bright room scores, and neither is particularly good for watching in the dark or for gaming. The TCL offers a wider color gamut, which might make the TV's colors seem more vibrant. If using voice commands and having the latest HDR formats matters to you, consider the TCL. However, if you're looking for the most affordable TV and don't mind the lack of advanced features and somewhat lower picture quality, the Insignia could suit your needs. 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.
