Love streaming shows and movies from your sofa? You’re not alone. And as much as we like watching content on our mobiles or tablets, you can’t beat a big screen, crisp speakers and a whole world of content to explore.
But with screen choice, soundbars, set top boxes and peripherals to pick, getting your TV set up just right can be a whole project in itself. Lots of us would rather just skip straight to kicking back and putting on a show.
That’s where Sky Glass rides to the rescue – creating the perfect experience for everything from blockbuster movies to your fave soap opera. And that’s just for starters. So, here’s everything you need to know about Sky Glass and how you can get your hands on one of your own.
What is Sky Glass?
Sky Glass is the 4K smarter TV from Sky. An all-in-one entertainment powerhouse! Take a 4K UHD Quantum Dot smart TV, add a cunningly concealed array of built-in speakers (including a soundbar) and fill it with the UK’s highest rated shows with Sky & Netflix in one subscription. All you need is a decent internet connection (wired or Wi-Fi) and you’re all set. No need for a satellite dish, set top box or messy cables. It’s all built-in. It might just be the ultimate hassle-free TV!
Sky Glass features you’ll love
Now you know what Sky Glass is all about, let’s take a deeper dive into the details:
Screen quality
You want TV shows to look their best, and this is what Sky Glass is built for – so expect a top-of-the-line 4K UHD screen with HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision support. That means a super sharp picture with great detail and contrast.
Sound
There’s actually no need for a separate soundbar when you buy a Sky Glass TV. That’s because it has a built-in six speaker soundbar with Dolby Atmos® virtual surround sound. And that even includes a built-in sub-woofer. After all, an epic movie needs great sound to really do it justice.
And since everything is built in, there’s only one cable for it all - so your set up will look incredibly smart with no extra cables.
Search with hands-free voice control
Sky Glass comes with a more conventional remote controller, but it’s also easy to navigate with your voice too. When you ask for the content you want, Sky Glass will search loads of apps in seconds and find just what you’re after. So, no more endless scrolling, search bars or struggling to remember where you saw that programme you loved.
To fire up Sky Glass’ voice control, just say: “Hello Sky” and it’ll start listening. If your TV is on standby, this prompt will even switch it on. Very futuristic! Then you can tell it what you want to watch. You can either just get it to switch platforms, i.e. “Hello Sky, Netflix” or you can get it to hunt down a specific show. While watching a show, you can give it other commands, such as “Hello Sky, turn up the volume.”
All the best TV in one subscription
For lots of us, the problem with modern TV is juggling loads of different subscriptions to loads of different streaming services. But Sky Glass makes it so much easier. In fact, it’s the only TV with Sky built-in that gives you access to the UK’s highest rated shows. Get Sky & Netflix in one subscription all from just £23 a month.
That includes access to Sky’s award-winning Originals, Exclusives, comedies, docs and lots more. No more channel hopping for something to watch. You’ll be spoilt for choice every evening!
Find your fit
Sky Glass is available in Small, Medium and Large - 43”, 55” and 65” meaning you’ll find the perfect size Sky Glass for your front room. (Or you could have a Sky Glass in every room if you want!)
Whatever size you go for, you get the option to either attach the included stand or wall mount it. And your Sky Glass can fit your style too – as it comes in multiple colours with colour matching controllers. Fancy!
