Sky has launched its second-generation Sky Glass TV, now featuring an upgraded 4K HDR display and improved sound system. The new model builds on the previous Sky Glass release, aiming to offer a more refined viewing experience with brighter picture quality and enhanced audio performance.
Sky Glass Gen 2: Key Updates
The most significant changes to the Sky Glass Gen 2 include a brighter 4K Quantum Dot display with advanced HDR and precision contrast enhancement. The display is now said to offer better contrast with deeper darks and brighter highlights. This improvement is paired with a wider viewing angle, ensuring the picture remains accurate across different seating positions. Picture modes like “Vivid” and “Sport” have been updated for better performance across various content types.
The audio has also been upgraded with a seven-speaker Dolby Atmos® sound system, which includes an integrated soundbar and dual subwoofers. Sky claims this will deliver a more immersive audio experience, with clearer vocals and enhanced bass. The system is designed to eliminate the need for an external soundbar, simplifying the setup.
Sky Glass Gen 2 is available in three sizes—43”, 55”, and 65”—and three colours: Volcanic Grey, Arctic Silver, and Atlantic Blue. The TV runs on Sky OS, which offers personalised recommendations based on viewing habits and includes features like Playlists for saving favourite content.
Pricing and Availability
The Sky Glass Gen 2 is available for purchase starting at €16 per month for the 43” model, with the 55” model priced at €22 per month and the 65” model at €28 per month. The TV is available to buy directly from Sky and will also be sold in stores like Currys.
For new customers, Sky has introduced an Essential TV pack for €18 per month, which includes over 100 channels. A higher-tier Sky Ultimate TV package, priced at €25 per month, offers more channels including Sky Max, Sky Comedy, and Sky Documentaries.
Sky Glass Air: The Budget Option
Alongside the Gen 2 model, Sky has announced the upcoming Sky Glass Air, which will launch later this year. The Sky Glass Air is positioned as a more affordable alternative to the Gen 2, removing the built-in soundbar and instead featuring Dolby Audio Stereo speakers.
Like the Gen 2, the Air will offer a 4K Quantum Dot HDR display, but it will include a simpler sound setup. The Air will be powered by Sky OS, retaining features like content aggregation and personalised recommendations. It will be available in three sizes—43”, 55”, and 65”—and three colours: Carbon Grey, Cotton White, and Sea Green.
Pricing for the Sky Glass Air will be revealed closer to its release. When launched, it will sit alongside Sky Glass Gen 2 and Sky Stream in Sky’s range of smart TV products.
