It was always going to be more risky buying the very first TV from a company with no previous history of producing TV hardware whatsoever. The likes of LG, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Philips, HiSense, etc all have a track record going back years and are specialists in the field of TV manufacture.
Being a mass-market service provider, Sky would always have been conscious of manufacturing costs and, coupled with the silicon shortage during the pandemic, more corners were perhaps cut by TP Vision (who build Glass) than should have been.
Personally, when spending hundreds of pounds on a piece of technology which is used regularly in most households, I would always recommend a warranty of at least 5 years. With Sky Glass this would necessitate paying more for Sky Protect insurance, whereas any smart TV purchased from somewhere like John Lewis or Richer Sounds comes with a free 5 or 6 year warranty. You can then achieve the same Sky streaming TV experience on such a smart TV by getting a Sky Stream puck.
