Why Sky Glass stands out

With so many options out there, picking a new TV can feel overwhelming. So before you dive in, it pays to think about what really matters to you.

With so much content spread across all of your streaming apps, intuitive navigation should definitely be on you wish list. And finally, remember that looks are important too, so your TV should fit your personal style and space.

Luckily, Sky Glass ticks all of the above boxes, making it a top choice whatever your viewing preferences. So much more than just another smart TV, it’s an all-in-one entertainment solution. It comes loaded with Sky TV – so all you need to start streaming is a Sky TV subscription and broadband.

Sky Glass features

Sky built in

Sky Glass will change the way you watch TV. It’s the only TV with Sky services already inside, so there’s no need for a box or dish. All your favourite channels, top TV apps and streaming services are in one easy-to-access place. Just connect to broadband and away you go.

A 4K HDR screen

You’ll find a viewing experience that’s designed to impress. A brighter 4K HDR screen brings colours to life with incredible clarity, while the seven-speaker Dolby Atmos® sound system surrounds you with rich, immersive audio for a truly cinematic feel.

Powered by Sky OS

Sky OS is another game-changer. This intelligent software powers the intuitive, user-friendly features that give Sky Glass real stand out. Voice control makes navigating Sky channels and streaming apps such as Netflix, Disney+ and YouTube so easy. Just say it to watch it, pause it or rewind it.

Ready for gamers too

Sky Glass is ready for gamers too. With a 60Hz refresh rate and Auto Game Mode, simply plug in a cloud gaming device via HDMI and enjoy smooth, responsive play.

Sky Glass vs Streaming Devices

Most streaming setups need two things: a separate device such as a Firestick and a TV to plug it into. Sky Glass takes a different approach. With this all-in-one streaming TV, Sky TV is already built in, so simply plug it in, connect to your network, and you’re ready to stream.

With separate streaming devices picture quality depends on the TV and sound on the availability of an external soundbar. On top of that, compatibility with a streaming device can vary.

In Sky Glass, software and hardware are designed to work seamlessly together: Dolby Atmos audio delivers a rich sound and a 4K HDR Quantum Dot screen projects a crystal-clear picture. And with auto adjust built-in, AI works out what you’re watching and adjusts the picture and sound for the perfect viewing experience.

When it comes to navigation, streaming devices only provide app access and require manual switching which can become complicated. Powered by Sky OS, the Sky Glass home screen brings your Sky channels and other streaming apps together in one place. And hands-free voice control ensures you can find what you want easily and quickly.

For gaming, most streaming devices offer limited options, whereas Sky Glass includes Auto Gaming Mode and a 60Hz refresh rate that supports lighter titles and cloud gaming.
