Seamless to set up and smarter than a smart TV, Sky Glass grabs your attention – and you won’t want to let go

Game, set... match Sky Glass can seamlessly blend with the palette of your living space

If you love clean lines, you’ll adore this: Sky Glass needs only one cable to power the display (it connects to the internet over your home Wi-Fi). Say goodbye to that rat’s nest of cables that you struggle to keep out of sight. Yet all this design elegance comes without compromising on technical excellence. The 4K UHD display offers vivid colours – a billion of them, in fact – along with high-contrast light and shade, and crisp detailing that fills the frame. The breathtaking visuals are matched with superb sound. Six acoustically engineered speakers and a subwoofer built into the soundbar deliver 3D audio that’s nothing short of immersive. By turns, it transforms your living space into a sports stadium, a racetrack, a concert arena or a cinema.

Made to match with a variety of living spaces, Sky Glass comes in a palette of five colours with a matching remote: anthracite black, ceramic white, dusky pink, racing green, and ocean blue – so you can go for ‘subtle’ or ‘statement’ as your taste dictates. Whether you prefer muted hues for a living room, or bold and funky for a games room, there’s a display to blend in. Colour is not the only consideration. When it comes to interiors, one size definitely doesn’t fit all. What might blend beautifully in a living room could feel like too much TV for a cosy den. That’s why Sky Glass is available in three distinct sizes: small (43in), medium (55in) and large (65in). This means that whether you’re placing Sky Glass in a grand entertainment room, a medium-sized family space, or a compact bedroom, there’s a size that promises the best viewing experience without compromising on aesthetics. You can use the colour-matched stand to rest it on a cabinet, or fit it to a wall with the mounting bracket that’s integrated into the TV.

While its aesthetic appeal is undeniable, Sky Glass doesn’t just look good. Its crowning feature is sheer ease of use. It’s simple to set up, and when the display comes to life you’ll find your favourite shows from all your apps, curated and placed side by side. Finding what you want to watch has never been easier – all presented in stunning quality and immersive sound. Now you can choose between Billions, Beckham, The Crown, and Chef without needing to switch between apps or devices, or remembering which service hosts your favourite show or movie. Want to gorge on horror before Halloween? Sky Glass will show a selection of top titles across multiple platforms and streaming services, including Sky Cinema, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, Peacock, Amazon Prime. All that, plus the full menu of live TV. You can watch any show from the start, even if you’ve only tuned in halfway through. You can create as many playlists as you want, for as many people as there are in the home. Sky Glass saves in the cloud, so you won’t use up storage space. Best of all, Sky Glass is a smart TV – and getting smarter. It learns from your viewing habits over time and curates content to match your likes.

In an age in which technology permeates our lives, it can often be a challenge to find hardware that won’t disrupt the harmony of our living spaces. How many times have we adjusted our interiors, compromised a decor scheme or hidden devices because they appeared too jarring? But here’s the plot twist you won’t have seen coming: what if your next TV not only fitted seamlessly into your carefully curated space, but also amplified its charm? Sky Glass, the 4K UHD TV from Sky, boasts a graceful, refined design that’s equally comfortable complementing the clean lines of a contemporary living room, or settling into a funky furnished haven of vintage chic. Let’s start with the looks: all sleek lines and minimalist profile, Sky Glass comes in a slim casing that measures just 4.77cm deep. The entire unit is wrapped in premium-grade anodised aluminium and woven acoustic mesh. And that’s not all: there’s no satellite dish to affix to an outside wall – really convenient if your home is an apartment. There’s no set-top box you’ll feel the need to camouflage or hide away, and there are no separate speakers to be placed strategically around the room. You don’t even need to keep a remote ready to hand: Sky Glass responds to your voice commands.

SMART TV

JUST GOT SMARTER

It’s the golden hour: that long-awaited moment when the day’s work is done, the chores are complete and you finally have time to sit back, unwind and lose yourself in a series or a movie. Luckily, you waste no time browsing: all your favourites - curated to your taste - greet you on your TV’s home screen. This is the golden hour with Sky Glass, the 4K UHD TV from Sky with a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar.

Say goodbye to switching between apps, devices, cumbersome set-ups, tangled wires and a bothersome collection of different remotes. Until now, that’s been many people’s experience of streaming TV. Load up Disney Plus? Wait! That’s on the kids’ PlayStation. Netflix? We need to reconnect the tablet to the TV. Instead, Sky Glass takes your favourite shows from all your apps and puts them side by side, so finding what you want to watch has never been easier, all of it presented in stunning quality with immersive sound. From a single screen you can choose between Succession, Brassic, Top Boy, Only Murders in the Building, The Last of Us, or The Bear. Whether you’re in the mood for a midweek rom-com or a Saturday night scary movie, you’ll see a top selection of titles across Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, Peacock, Amazon Prime, and more – not to mention the full suite of live TV.

Get Smart

Search is simple and you can create as many playlists as you want, for everyone in the home. Sky Glass saves in the cloud, so you don’t need to worry about clogging up storage. Late to hit the sofa at the end of a long day? It also gives you the option to restart lots of live shows, including those on Sky channels, from the beginning. Sky Glass is smarter than a smart TV. If you’ve had a busy day at work, are just back from the gym or have young children, you might only have a precious hour to unwind in the evening, and you’ll want to find something to watch quickly. The Sky Glass interface makes that experience easier. Alongside the crisp visuals and enveloping sound, a standout feature of Sky Glass is that it gives you back precious me-time. A study by Momentive found that the average adult in Ireland spends up to four days a year searching for something to watch on a streaming platform. Sky Glass removes that layer of hassle - because watching TV shouldn’t feel like work.

The Big Easy

Setup is effortless, too. Just plug in the TV, connect it to your home Wi-Fi and start watching. Sky Glass works with any broadband provider’s connection, with 25 Mbps download speed recommended. There are no other wires, no additional set-top box and no satellite dish to set up on your outside wall – a big plus for apartment dwellers. And because the sound is built-in, you don’t have to worry about connecting the TV to external speakers. Sky Glass delivers a stunning viewing experience with High Definition as standard, and 4K Ultra-High Definition where the content is available. Quantum Dot technology presents fine detail right to the corner of the frame, with high contrast and deep colours. In tandem with the exceptional visuals, the Sky Glass sound capability adds to the mesmeric entertainment experience. Unlike traditional surround sound, the TV’s Dolby Atmos soundbar has six speakers that combine to deliver an immersive three-dimensional sound experience. Watching concert footage on YouTube feels like a virtual front-row seat, while following Formula One drivers around the circuit is as exhilarating as being right there in the pit lane.

Everything Now

The simplicity doesn’t stop there. Sky Glass is voice-activated. Just speak and it does the rest. Voice-activated functionality makes navigating through your shows, adjusting settings and even searching for content a breeze. If you lose your remote, or someone in the household misplaces it, just say “hello Sky” and the remote will chime. A cool feature lets you quote a famous line from a movie – say “Show me the money!” and Jerry Maguire instantly appears on your screen. Even with the remote’s new features, some old favourites remain: you can still access the red button features as before.

Look Who’s Talking

Artificial intelligence is the future of tech so it’s no surprise that Sky Glass has some AI smarts of its own. Over time, it learns from your viewing habits and aggregates content to match, while making suggestions for other shows you’d like to see. If you’re a football fan, it’ll schedule your team’s upcoming matches, along with presenting club news and content from Sky Sports or YouTube. Revolutionary? It might just be. When Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPhone back in 2007, he proclaimed the exciting fact that it combined multiple functions into a single, easy-to-use device. Today, Sky Glass provokes a similar groundbreaking response: streamlined technology that unites a smart TV, high-end sound system and set-top box into one elegant package. This is the game-changer of TV, with Sky at the forefront. Uncomplicated pricing plans wrap everything in a single fixed cost. For just €35 a month for 12 months, you get the 43in Sky Glass TV, including your Sky TV entertainment package and Netflix. The medium 55in Sky Glass is available with the same channel offer for €42 per month, while the largest model in the family, the 65in display, comes in at €48 per month. This price offer is available until 31 December 2023. With Sky Glass, watching TV is no longer a passive pursuit; it’s a viewing experience so immersive that no one in the family will want to leave the couch.
