Sky Unveils Sky Glass Gen 2: Brighter 4K HDR Screen and Enhanced Dolby Atmos Sound System


Sky Glass Gen 2: Unveiling the Ultimate Home Entertainment Hub

Sky is revolutionizing the way we experience television with the introduction of Sky Glass Gen 2. This innovative device comes packed with features designed to deliver an immersive entertainment experience, all in one sleek package. Available for purchase starting February 12, Sky Glass Gen 2 brings together cutting-edge technology in a streamlined, easy-to-use package.

A Brighter 4K HDR Display Unlocks Cinematic Picture Quality

The highlight of Sky Glass Gen 2 is its 4K Quantum Dot HDR display, providing crystal-clear visuals that bring your favorite shows to life. Advanced HDR technology ensures that dark scenes are vivid and bright moments pop with precision contrast enhancement. This wider viewing angle makes the picture more immersive, making every detail stand out.

Sky Glass Gen 2 uses intelligent Sky OS software to tailor the viewing experience based on what’s currently playing. Whether it’s a movie, music video, or sports game, the TV automatically optimizes the picture and audio. Improved picture modes like Entertainment, Movies, Music, Auto, Vivid, Extra Vivid, and Sport further enhance the viewing experience.

Enhanced Dolby Atmos Sound System Delivers Immersive Audio

The sound quality of Sky Glass Gen 2 has been significantly improved with the inclusion of a Dolby Atmos sound system featuring seven built-in speakers, including a soundbar and dual subwoofer. This re-engineered design offers richer bass with improved vocal clarity, immersing viewers in the action.

Thanks to the integrated sound system, customers can save at least 30% compared to buying a separate UHD TV and soundbar from leading brands like Samsung or LG. Gone are the days of tangled cables and bulky soundbars—Sky Glass Gen 2 brings cinematic sound to your living room in one streamlined package.

Design and Convenience Meet Modern Living

The new Sky Glass Gen 2 comes in three sizes: 43”, 55”, and 65”. Available in three finishes—Volcanic Grey, Arctic Silver, and Atlantic Blue—they are designed to complement any modern interior. The remote controls are color-matched to the TV, and the speaker fascia has been redesigned for a sleek look.

Setup is incredibly simple with everything needed included in one box. Just take the TV out of the box, place it on the newly designed easy-slide stand, connect to Wi-Fi, and you’re ready to go. Sky Glass Gen 2 is even wall-mountable, with a tilting and swiveling feature that sits completely flush against the wall.

Intelligent Software Takes TV Viewing to the Next Level

The TV runs on Sky OS, the platform that powers Sky’s popular TV viewing experience. Sky OS includes over 500 new features and updates since its launch. Equipped with a far-field microphone and powered by Comcast’s global voice platform, Sky Glass Gen 2 “listens and responds” when you speak, making it easy to navigate menus, search for shows, and control the TV with voice commands.

Flexible Payment Options and Pricing Plans Fit Every Budget

To make the Sky Glass Gen 2 accessible to as many people as possible, Sky offers a variety of payment plans and pricing options. You can pay for the TV in one go or choose interest-free monthly payments starting at £14 per month for the 43”, £19 per month for the 55”, and £24 per month for the 65”.

Additionally, Sky offers flexible TV subscription options. The 24-month TV subscription provides the best value, or you can opt for a 31-day rolling contract for more flexibility. Sky also offers an Essential TV pack starting at £15 per month, giving you over 100 channels including popular series like House of the Dragon and Stranger Things. For an expanded channel lineup, consider Sky Ultimate TV for £22 per month.

The Future of Sky Glass: Reflecting on Sky Glass Air

To provide customers with more options, Sky plans to introduce Sky Glass Air later this year. Sky Glass Air will feature a 4K Quantum Dot HDR screen, global dimming, contrast enhancement, and 2.0 stereo speakers with Dolby Audio. Maintaining integration with Sky OS, Sky Glass Air offers hands-free voice control and superior content aggregation. Available in Carbon Grey, Cotton White, and Sea Green, Sky Glass Air will provide another smart TV option, offering a combination of all three TV models for seamless home entertainment.

*Benchmarked against buying a separate TV and soundbar from Samsung or LG of the closest equivalent specification. The average total cost of these TVs and soundbars have been combined to get an average total cost of buying the separate devices. We compared this with the cost of Sky Glass Gen 2, which includes the soundbar built in. This showed a saving of at least 30% across the three sizes that are available with Sky Glass.
