Insignia is a house brand of Best Buy for TVs and audio gear; these are meant to be "value line" items that supposedly offer more features than other brands in the same price range. Best Buy also carries televisions under the "Dynex" house brand. These TVs do not have as many features as the Insignia line; however, having had no experience with Dynex and going strictly on what I have read online about the brand, I cannot say whether they are better or worse, performance-wise, than Insignia. Knowing that Dynex is one step below Insignia, however, I would think the former could be of lower quality than the latter, so I'd buy another Insignia TV if and when mine goes bad.

I bought a new Dynex in late 2009 The power supply capacitors failed in jan 2013 . Of course the picture and sound went out when that happened. I was a little disappointed that it only lasted three years before it had a failure
having owned Toshiba ,Sony and Sharp CRT sets that lasted 10+ years without problems .
I replaced it with a new Toshiba.
I was able to repair the Dynex by replacing some bulged capacitors on the power supply board it was only $3.80
for the four caps . I have repurposed it as a second PC monitor.
Dynex/Insignia are from the same manufacturer which is now Hisense
a large China global OEM company . Hisense is starting to market sets of their own brand as well now. Hisense is well known overseas and gets good reviews. Dynex/Insignia recently changed from another OEM to Hisense for most of their sets it is possible the newer sets might be better some the reviews on some of the newer Insignia sets are decent now
