What is Sky Glass TV?
Sky Glass is a brand-new (and the very first) TV from Sky, which was released in October 2021.
It's designed as a slicker and easier alternative to Sky Q.
Normally with Sky Q, you'd need a set-top box and subscription, your own TV, and then a satellite dish attached to your home.
With Sky Glass, you just need a subscription and a power plug.
Sky is totally built into the TV so you get all the main channels, plus apps and games too.
It's a 4K Ultra HD Quantum Dot TV and supports Dolby Atmos and HDR (including HLG, HDR10 and Dolby Vision).

It comes in three sizes: 43-inch, 55-inch and 65-inch.
The main advantage is you don't need a satellite dish – as the gadget works totally over WiFi.
Installing a Sky dish isn’t always ideal.
Some people don’t like how they look, and others simply can’t install them.
And having to make changes to your property just to watch TV feels like a relic of the past.
The new Sky Glass TV is a full Sky Q offering – just over the internet instead.
So you can still watch regular channels, and even record content.
You’ll also get access to the same catch-up and on-demand apps like Netflix and Disney+.

Sky Glass TV cost
The 43-inch model is £649 or £13 a month, while the 55-inch model costs £849 or £17 a month.
For the top model, you'll pay £1,049 or £21 a month.
If you bundle in the Sky Ultimate TV package, the price rises to £39 a month.
That gets you all the main channels, Sky Originals and Sky Exclusives, as well as Netflix.
By comparison, current Sky Q costs £26 a month for 18 months – with up to £49 in setup fees.
Sky Glass TV colours
The Sky Glass's design is slick with an anodised aluminium frame.
You'll find it's available in five different colour options: Anthracite Black, Ocean Blue, Racing Green, Dusky Pink and Ceramic White.
That's enough of a choice to make it fit in the majority of living rooms, we'd say.
Sky Glass TV Multiroom
For an extra tenner, you can get a Sky streaming puck, which will let you put Sky on the other TVs in your home.
That means you don't have to pay for a Sky Glass in every room.
Of course, you'll still need at least one Sky Glass in the home.
The pucks won't work without a Sky Glass TV, so purchasing one is essential.
In Spring next year, Sky will also be flogging a smart camera add-on for the top of the TV.
It allows for video calls, interactive games like Fruit Ninja, and shared watching with pals.
Where to buy the Sky Glass TV
It probably comes as no surprise that you'll need to to order the Sky Glass.
At the moment, this is the only place online where it's available to buy, but we imagine other retailers will soon be stocking Sky's first television.
