If you've got a limited budget or you're hunting for a small TV for the bedroom or office, you might head over to Amazon and check out the best 32-inch TVs on offer. There you'll undoubtedly run into two extremely popular models: the TCL 3-Series and the Insignia F20 Fire TV. These TVs have been top sellers for years, with the Amazon reviews to prove it, but are either of them worth your money? That's the mystery we're here to solve. We've conducted in-depth evaluations of both TVs, backed by comprehensive lab testing.

The F20 series generally delivers decent overall picture quality, but with some small discrepancies that we didn't see from the competition in our tests. The TV's overall color production is lacking, and its tendency to overemphasize blue hues can create imbalances during low-light and highlight scenes. On the other hand, the TV's build quality and Fire TV experience are quite robust. If you're a big fan of telling Alexa what to do or vastly prefer Amazon's Fire TV platform over something like Roku TV, you may not mind these concessions in picture quality. But if you want the best picture quality in this price range (so far), alongside one of our favorite smart platforms, you should really check out the TCL 3-Series instead.

Starting at just $349 for the 43-inch model, the 4-Series is as affordable as it is flexible: This series runs the screen size gamut from 43 to 85 inches and even comes in software variants, with Roku (the version we tested), Google, and Android smart platforms available depending upon retailer and region. But no matter which one you buy, you're getting 4K resolution, HDR compatibility, and solid general picture quality. There are some reasons you might want to spend a bit more. This is an entry-level 4K TV, and despite being HDR compatible, it's simply not bright or colorful enough for good HDR performance. The basics of its picture are solid, but it's not equipped to be a great choice for current game consoles, and its backlight isn't powerful enough for especially bright rooms.

The conceit is a simple one: If you already rely on a suite of Alexa-powered smart home devices and you're excited by the prospect of rounding out the armada with an Alexa-integrated TV, the Omni is aimed squarely at you. Several of its most enticing features have yet to roll out, but it's easy to envision them working seamlessly within an established network of Alexa doorbells, cameras, and speakers. But traditionally, a suite of smart functions is only one of the prerequisites for a satisfactory TV experience--in many cases, smart features are almost an afterthought when considering a TV's value, and buyers interested in the Fire TV Omni will have to make do with the Omni's limitations in other areas. For example, due to its middling hardware, it's not a good pick for showcasing HDR, nor is it a good fit for gamers. The Amazon Fire TV Omni feels like a proof of concept for better-performing Amazon TVs sometime in the not-so-distant future. If you're an Alexa power user, the proof of concept is good enough to warrant a look.

Like last year's 6-Series, the new-and-improved model offers sensational, quantum-dot-powered brightness and color, the best smart platform in the game, and a host of hardware features that go far beyond the standard-issue set you're likely to find in budget TVs. Considering how well the 6-Series apes the abilities of TVs that cost twice as much, it's a top value pick this year. There are some concessions to mention, however: The TV's design isn't the swankiest, its built-in speakers aren't that great, and it won't quite set you up for a fully-loaded, next-generation gaming experience. But honestly, these are nitpicks--the TCL 6-Series is a sensational value proposition for all but the most dedicated A/V fanatics. You're getting some of the best performance available in this particular price bracket as well as a host of thoughtful additions that'll keep you covered for years to come.
