If you're on a strict budget, the Insignia F20 2024 might appeal to you due to its lower price. However, it's important to know that it generally offers a poorer viewing experience across different types of content, including movies, sports, and gaming, and it isn't well-suited for bright rooms or dark rooms. On the other hand, the TCL S355, while typically more expensive, offers slightly better performance for watching sports. That being said, both TVs have their limitations with overall picture quality, and neither would be ideal if you're looking for great image quality or plan to use the TV in a variety of lighting conditions.

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.
