Sky Glass

Great content library and interface ; Better sound than TVs at its price ; Stylish looks ; Vivid mode improves HDR performance

Still some blooming and artefacts with content ; Expensive for the UHD/Atmos experience ; Needs plenty of bandwidth for all the features

Consider Sky Glass for what it is rather than what it’s not and there’s a good experience to be had. The interface is greatly accessible, the Vivid mode improves the HDR performance, though the price has gone up. Sky Glass fulfils a bit more of its...

Incredibly easy to set up and use ; Voice control through the remote and the TV ; Sky content on-demand

Big and heavy TV set ; You need reliable internet ; Subscription costs will add up

Sky Glass is a hassle-free TV with 4K resolution and a powerful speaker system. You'll get all of the perks of Sky built-in, including access to loads of on-demand entertainment as well as hundreds of live TV channels. All you need is a reliable...

Full Sky and app experience in the one place ; Dolby Atmos speakers built into the TV's chassis ; Voice control is intuitive ; Three screen size options: 43/55/65-inch

No built-in recording ; Some software issues ; Delay in loading channels ; No 120Hz/ALLM/VRR support ; Ad fast-forwarding added cost after 12 months

We may have expected a Sky Q internet (IP) service, but got something else: Sky Glass is truly a single device TV solution - with no dish and no box required - but while the concept is strong, the execution isn't as good as we would have liked and...

A great-looking package ; Good sound for an integrated system ; Tweaked remote is good, but too reliant on voice ; Sky’s user interface is significantly improved here

The costs for Sky still add up ; Better picture quality out there ; Some catch-up players give a poor experience ; Sky Q still better for many

The future of Sky is here – but not if you have a decent Ultra HD TV already. The subscription model is very appealing, though

All-in-one entertainment system ; Dolby Vision ; Amazing Dolby Atmos sound system ; No dish required

No local storage for recordings ; No Game modes or 120Hz ; No headphone support

Sky Glass is the first opportunity to subscribe to Sky’s premium TV services over broadband, all neatly delivered into a bespoke TV environment. You even get the 4K telly as part of your monthly subscription. The hardware is chic and the software...

Convenient and easy to use ; Good audio quality ; HDR picture quality now quite good

Rewind and forward wind can be sluggish ; Fewer channels than Sky Q

After a fairly unimpressive debut, Sky Glass has now grown into an impressive all-round package at an even more tempting price. It’s convenient and easy to use, the specifications are impressive, audio quality is great (for built-in speakers) and a lot...

Good sound ; Great interface ; One-cable-solution ; Well priced

Bulky design ; Muted colours ; No DVR capability

If the Streaming Puck was available as a standalone device then that would be a true game changer, but as a whole package, Sky Glass falls just short of greatness.
