If price is a major factor and you're on a tight budget, the Insignia F30 2024 might serve your basic needs for TV viewing. However, the Vizio P-Series offers significantly better overall picture quality, which is especially noticeable in bright rooms and for high-dynamic-range content. For gaming, the Vizio's higher refresh rate and better response times mean a smoother experience. The Insignia does offer good gray uniformity and sufficient viewing angles, making it a decent choice for watching news or sports in a well-lit room. In terms of sound, both are fairly comparable, so you might want to pair them with external speakers or soundbars. If you watch a lot of movies in dark rooms, enjoy gaming, or want a more vibrant picture for various content, investing in the Vizio P-Series could be worth the extra cost. Give Feedback

"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."
