The Sky Glass Air smart TV is now available to buy in the UK, with shoppers able to get their hands on the sleek smart TV with Sky built in from £6 per month
Sky has launched a brand-new model of its TV lineup as the Sky Glass Air hits the shelves. Announced earlier this month, it's the latest version of Sky's own smart TV with Sky and streaming apps built in.
With prices starting at £6 per month, the Sky Glass Air is designed as a slimmer and more affordable version of the Sky Glass Gen 2, which starts at £14. But despite its cheaper price, the Air still boasts a 'vibrant' 4K HDR Quantum Dot screen and Dolby Audio speaker system.
Other key features include hands-free voice control, intelligent and personalised recommendations and an easy plug-in-and-play setup. Sky Glass delivers TV and streaming services through WiFi, eliminating the need for a satellite dish or Sky box.
Announcing the new TV, Carli Kerr, MD of Sky TV and NOW, said: 'With Sky Glass Air, we're bringing the Sky experience to more people through a beautifully designed TV with stunning picture quality from £6 a month. It's all about giving people better for less: more choice, great tech and the content they love, without compromising on quality.'
Sky Glass Air is available for £6 when paired with a Sky TV package such as the £15 Essential TV bundle. As well as more than 100 channels, this includes free subscriptions to both Netflix and Discovery+, with Sky Cinema and Sky Sports available for £10 and £20 respectively.
Shoppers can pick up the Sky Glass Air with its 'sleek design [and] slim frame' in three sizes, 43', 55' and 65'. There's also a choice of colours including Sea Green, Carbon Grey and Cotton White.
For those preferring to buy their TV outright, the Sky Glass Air can be purchased for £309. Alternatively, Amazon has just cut £150 off its 43' Fire TV 4-Series, now £279.99, while Samsung is offering 10% off its higher-end QLED and Crystal UHD TVs, like this 50' QLED Q7F2 at £539.10.
But for those sticking with the Sky Glass Air, the tech experts at What Hi-Fi, have given it a thumbs up in their early review. They said: 'Sky Glass Air seems pretty respectable for the price, with a detailed and colourful image that can deliver punch when required.
'The biggest draw is Sky OS and its long list of features. The ability to access shows and add them to a system-wide playlist regardless of the service they are hosted on remains a fan favourite, while the voice interaction system is robust.'
However, they also noted a potential flaw in the sound, adding: 'It's a noticeable downgrade, with the TV delivering a thinner and less atmospheric sound overall, but it does a solid job of prioritising clear vocals.
'Overall, the Glass Air seems to make a strong case for itself, especially with the price in mind. It's a cheaper Sky Glass that retains the Sky experience at its core, and cuts back on a few of the more premium features offered by the Glass Gen 2.'
