Is the Samsung F6000F worth the extra over the Insignia F20?

For most people, yes. The Samsung gives you 1080p instead of 720p, HDR, and AirPlay/Miracast for about $50 to $60 more. If the TV is for occasional watching in a spare room, the Insignia is fine.

Which has the better picture?

The Samsung. Full HD has more than twice the pixels of 720p, and it adds HDR. The Insignia's 720p panel will look softer, particularly with small on-screen text.

Which is better for a bedroom?

The Insignia if you want the lowest cost and a light set that is easy to mount. The Samsung if you watch in the dark and want the sharper picture and HDR.

Does the Insignia F20 have more HDMI ports?

Yes. The Insignia lists 3 HDMI inputs; the Samsung has 2. That matters if you connect a console, a streaming stick and a cable box.

Can I cast from my phone to either TV?

The Samsung supports AirPlay and Miracast, so iPhone and Android casting work. The Insignia relies on Fire TV and Alexa, with no AirPlay listed.

Neither maker publishes a lifespan figure. Samsung is the larger TV brand and the F6000F is a current 2025 model, which makes parts and app support easier to count on. Check the warranty at checkout for both.
