Come See the King of TVs (and More) at Hippo’s
Find the Best TVs on the Market at Our Experience Center Showroom
If you’re considering a new high-end TV for your home, don’t buy sight unseen. There’s only so much online reviews and spec sheets can tell you. When it comes to truly understanding the difference between a good TV and a great one, you need to see it for yourself. That’s exactly what you can do at Hippo’s in Albany, NY.
Our showroom features the latest and best televisions from industry leaders like Sony, Samsung, SunBriteTV, and Séura—each offering a different strength depending on how you watch and where you watch. Here’s a preview of what you’ll find.
Sony BRAVIA 8 II: The OLED Crown Jewel
The Sony BRAVIA 8 II has earned the title “King of TVs” by Value Electronics’ annual TV Shootout Evaluation event. That’s not marketing fluff; it’s a well-earned reputation thanks to its unmatched OLED picture quality.
Our staff loves this TV for its incredible brightness and detail. The BRAVIA 8 II is powered by Sony’s Cognitive Processor XR, the same video processing trusted in Hollywood production studios for lifelike color, depth, and motion, true to the creator’s intent.
HDR performance is balanced and realistic, and whether you’re watching a dimly lit drama or a daytime sports game, this TV adapts to give you optimal clarity. In a world of exaggerated visuals, the BRAVIA 8 is grounded in realism, and that’s what makes it stand out.
Sony BRAVIA 7: Mini LED Brilliance
Want a brilliant TV that performs exceptionally well even in bright rooms? The Sony BRAVIA 7 is your Mini LED option. Mini LED TVs use thousands of tiny backlights (much smaller than those in traditional LED displays) to deliver deeper contrast, brighter highlights, and more precise lighting control.
This results in noticeable clarity and vibrant colors without the common blooming effect around bright objects. It handles contrast and brightness like a pro, making it ideal for multi-purpose living rooms or dedicated media spaces. It’s also a gamer’s TV, with fast response times and smooth motion to keep you in the action.
Samsung S95F: OLED with a Bright Edge
Samsung’s S95F OLED TV is another top contender. It’s their flagship model, now brighter than ever for 2025, and built with glare-reduction in mind, making it great for well-lit rooms or wall-mounted setups near windows. Its OLED panel handles deep blacks and wide viewing angles, so everyone in the room gets the best seat.
Samsung The Frame & Terrace: Art and Outdoors
Samsung’s “The Frame” turns into a work of art when it’s off, making it ideal for more design-conscious homeowners. Meanwhile, the Samsung Terrace is their weather-resistant outdoor model, built to handle any weather and bright sunlight without washing out the image. If you’ve ever tried to watch a regular TV outside, you’ll know this is a must.
Séura & SunBriteTV: TVs Where You Didn’t Think You Could Have One
Yes, Séura’s mirror TVs really are mirrors with a built-in TV. Upon activation, your functional mirror turns into a TV, leaving space for you to see your reflection as you get ready or work on your lifting form.
Séura’s mirror TVs are entirely customizable, placing the TV wherever you desire in the frame. They’re an excellent choice for bathrooms and bedrooms where technology and design need to coexist.
Meanwhile, SunBriteTV offers true outdoor televisions: ultra weatherproof and up to four times brighter than standard TVs. Whether it’s full sun, partial sun, or full shade, there’s a model designed for your backyard or patio.
