Get the new Sky Glass Gen 2 smart TV
Sky has just launched the Sky Glass Gen 2, its new smart TV with a brighter 4K QLED display and enhanced seven-speaker Dolby Atmos sound system.
Available to order now, it comes in three screen sizes from 43″ to 65″, with prices starting at £14 per month.
Although not much has changed on the outside, don’t be fooled. Sky Glass Gen 2 gets an improved 4K HDR Quantum Dot display and a fully upgraded Dolby Atmos 360-degree sound system with seven speakers.
It’s also a little lighter than its older sibling and comes in three new colours – Volcanic Grey, Arctic Silver, and Atlantic Blue.
Perhaps one of the most surprising things about Sky Glass Gen 2 is the price. for the TV with content packages costing from £15. That means you can pop one in your living room with access to Netflix and hundreds of channels for just £29 per month in total.
That’s exactly the same as the Gen 1 cost, meaning there’s no rise from Sky this year. To make things more enticing, Sky is even offering some money off the biggest 65-inch version for today’s launch.

So is it worth your money, and should you ditch your ditch your dish?
Express.co.uk was at the launch of Sky Glass Gen 2, and there’s no question that this TV offers a more colourful and pixel-packed screen.
The Quantum Dot technology helps to make content look crisper, while advanced HDR and precision contrast enhancement make darks darker and brights brighter. All this simply makes the Gen 2 model outshine the original. Sky has also improved the viewing angles so you get the same experience no matter where you sit in your living room.
Along with better picture quality, the new soundbar seems pretty impressive and should end the need for extra speakers. There are a total of seven boom boxes inside including an up-firing speaker to make it appear as if audio is hitting your ears from all directions.
We’ll need more time with Sky Glass Gen 2 but early impressions are good. Of course, this telly probably won’t match stunning OLED screens made by the likes of Samsung and LG but those can cost thousands of pounds.
We will have a full review of Sky Glass Gen 2 ready soon so watch this space.
