Is the Hisense 65M7SG worth $184 more than the Insignia?

Yes for picture quality. Mini-LED local dimming, 1000 nits and Dolby Vision are a clear step up from standard direct-lit LED with HDR10. If you mainly watch casual TV and want the lowest price, the Insignia is enough.

Which is better for a bright living room?

The Hisense. At 1000 nits with local dimming it fights glare far better than the Insignia, which has no brightness rating and no dimming zones.

Which is better for gaming?

Both are 60 Hz, so neither suits 120 Hz consoles. The Hisense adds Game Mode Plus to cut lag and has four HDMI inputs versus three on the Insignia.

Which has better sound without a soundbar?

The Hisense. Dolby Atmos with a built-in subwoofer gives more bass and height than the Insignia's DTS Virtual-X processing.

Neither maker publishes a lifespan figure. The Hisense has a 2026 model year and the Insignia a 2025 model year, so the Hisense is a year newer. Buy an extended warranty if longevity worries you.

Do I need Alexa or Google in my home?

It decides the platform. The Insignia runs Fire TV with Alexa built in; the Hisense runs Google TV with Google Assistant. Pick the one that matches the speakers and phones you already use.
