@OMGADRAGON I fear I'm going to be taking the pantomime villain role here and no doubt coming across as a tech snob in the bargain too but here goes:
So with due respect I don't think even the most casual of average users should expect that much if a grand is all they're able/willing to shell out on a TV set-up.
You're looking at close to four figures for a half decent TV, double that if you want to go higher spec, and then that again for a decent 'one box' sound system to accompany it.
You'll definitely be able to pick up something like last year's or the year before's Samsung Q990 system for slightly under a grand.
I'd argue that offers absolutely exceptional value when you compare it to what our previous soundbar and our current one cost. That was a grand by itself, without then adding the two rears, the two stands they're sat on and the two subs that bass addict me opted to get too.
Of course I fully appreciate not everyone can afford and/or will want to lay out that sort of money on their AV set-up but their expectations then need to be kept in check accordingly.
So no I don't own a Sky Glass TV, nor will I ever wish to, but I speak from the personal experience of having a family member who is what you'd call an average casual. He expected so much from his Sky Glass television because he chose to swallow all the promotional hype. He genuinely believed he would get an identical experience from his stand alone Glass unit to what our far superior television and multi speaker system delivers.
There was absolutely no telling him because I'm his mother's 50 something old git husband after all, whilst he's a young 30 year old buck who knows everything there is to know on everything technology. It's something we don't even ever talk about now because he hates he was wrong and in me the I told you so is strong 🫢
If it works for you and delivered on your expectations that's great, I'm happy for you. But there's also plenty of people who have experienced the very opposite, thus ending up totally unsatisfied.
Folk who only want to hear positive stuff about Sky Glass will ignore those of us who don't rate it. Whilst those very much on the fence about Sky Glass, or not down with it at all, won't be won over no matter how much you and those like you heap praise on it.
End of the day, we can disagree without being disagreeable.
