Which is better for gaming?

The Hisense U6. It has a 144Hz native panel, VRR up to 240Hz and AMD FreeSync Premium. The Insignia F50 is fixed at 60Hz with no VRR.

Is the Hisense worth $300 more?

For a main room, yes. MiniLED local dimming, Dolby Vision and 144Hz are visible upgrades over a 60Hz LED panel. For a bedroom or spare room, the Insignia is enough.

Which has better picture quality in a bright room?

The Hisense U6. Its anti-glare screen and MiniLED backlight fight reflections and hold brightness. The Insignia has a standard panel with HDR10 only.

Yes. Both use FireOS with Alexa and carry Netflix, Disney+, Hulu and Prime Video. The Hisense adds HBO and YouTube to its listed services; the Insignia lists those plus Apple TV+.

Neither maker publishes a lifespan figure. The Insignia has far more ratings in use (7,100 vs 363), which gives a broader reliability signal, but the Hisense's higher rating (4.7 vs 4.6) is close.
