Should you buy… Sky Glass?

The idea of getting the very best from Sky, but without having to have a dish installed or find a place under your TV for a Sky box, is a compelling one, and is exactly what Sky Glass is aiming for.

In the most basic terms, Sky Glass is full Sky built into a TV and run over your home internet.

It’s an intriguing prospect on paper, but how does it measure up in reality?

– Design

As a television, Sky Glass is attractive enough, if a bit chunky compared to the other top-end TV sets of today.

The thin bezel framing the screen and speaker bar at the base of the display are both neat and minimal, and there are plenty of HDMI ports on the rear of the TV for plugging in games consoles or other devices as needed.

There’s also a physical button on the side of the TV to disable the voice activation feature.

As a result, the neat and tidy design of the TV is also good enough that Sky Glass looks good on the stand on a TV cabinet or on the wall.

The Sky Glass remote is also brand new, with a more simplistic design than its predecessors. It also lights up when picked up, making it easier to use if you’re watching TV – and searching for the volume button – in a darkened room.

As an overall package then, Sky Glass looks the part.
