Just looking at similar non-Oled tvs - 55" Nanocell (£750) is also only 60Hz, 55" Sony (£1,000) only 50/60Hz.

They're not letting you run Sky Glass and SkyQ side by side if you're looking to compare both services before switching - though presumably you can test Glass for 14 days and send it back for a full refund, switching back to Q, if not happy.

ITV Hub and All4 apps present on the apps rail of the Glass interface, so that'll keep a lot of people happy...

Glow in the dark remote. Wonder if that will be available for Sky Q as well.
