If saving money is your top priority and you don't mind lower picture quality, the Insignia F30 2024 might be suitable for you. However, the Vizio M-Series offers better overall picture quality, contrast, and sound, enhancing your experience when watching movies or sports. Please note, the Insignia might struggle with reflections in bright rooms, while the Vizio also isn't ideal but performs somewhat better under those conditions. For gaming, neither TV excels, but the Vizio slightly outperforms the Insignia in this respect. If you enjoy watching movies in darker settings, then the Vizio, with its superior dark room performance, is the better option. Give Feedback
