Hi. I can't decided between a sky glass or a normal TV. Advantages and disadvantages please. Thank you in advance.

Glass is now more than three years old but still retails at launch pricing which is basically unheard of in the television market.

It's absolutely not a normal smart television set, and has distinctly limited functionality without a Sky content subscription.

Audio is somewhat better than average (at least at time of launch) and the credit term is generous, albeit on a very high price.

Generally we suggest considering Glass if you really like the aesthetic, otherwise look at a Stream puck with the television set of your choice.

@moonblue I originally purchased a 55inch Glass TV in July 2022 as at that time you could not have a stream puck on its own. A year ago I took advantage of the Samsung Black Friday deals and bought a 65 inch Smart TV with soundbar and moved to a Stream puck. For me this was a great decision and have never regretted it for a moment.

The second hand value of a Glass TV is generally very poor.

Advantages: All in one convenience, Sky built-in (as long as you have an active TV subscription), ok but not great picture for the price, pretty good sound for the price. TV comes in range of colours.

Disadvantages: underwhelming TV without a Sky subscription. Better picture can be had for the same price with. Sky Stream puck.

All in one convenience & fuskey pink TV matching bedroom colours trumped all other concerns for my wife. Great second TV for us (downstairs has a Sky Stream puck wired into a full AV Atmos system)
