Sky Glass Gen 2 is a full update of the previous streaming TV and I’m at the launch this morning. It’s available from tomorrow, 12 February.
It looks very similar to the original with a 360-degree Dolby Atmos soundbar. Sky’s Entertainment OS is now Sky OS, with new updates (Sky says it has updated the original’s software over 500 times vs launch).
Sky has also announced the similarly-specified Sky Glass Air, which has the same tech inside and will be available later in the year in 43, 55 and 65in still. The main difference here is that there is no Dolby Atmos soundbar for those that want to add other sound capabilities.
These improved Quantum Dot TVs are not a Mini LED or OLED TV contrary to expectations, but Sky’s Fraser Stirling says the company wants to give the “best possible experience to the biggest number of people” – it doesn’t seem that interested at present in producing a more premium model in terms of display specification.
The Sky Glass Gen 2 TV is available in three colours this time, black, blue and white. Everything is colour-matched.
