Sky Glass Air is a new way to watch TV and its super low price may surprise you
Good news for anyone looking for an inexpensive 4K TV as the new Sky Glass Air television has just arrived in Ireland and the price might surprise you. This latest screen was first announced way back in February when the firm unveiled its highly-rated Sky Glass Gen 2 flagship TV. The new Sky Glass Air is slimmer and more affordable. So how much is it going to cost you and what do you get for your money? We've got all the info you need to know… On contract, Sky Glass Air prices will start from just €8 per month for the 43in model and it's also available in 55in and 65in sizes for €12.50 and €15.50 respectively. You pay that on an interest-free deal over 48 months. For that money, you get a pixel-packed 4K HDR Quantum Dot display, a slim and sleek design with barely-there bezels and top notch Dolby audio to help improve the sound of those nightly box set binges. To help it blend into your home, Sky Glass Air comes in three colours, which are dubbed Sea Green, Carbon Grey and Cotton White. One huge bonus of switching to a Sky Glass TV is that you don't need a satellite dish stuck to your home's exterior walls. Instead, all your content is beamed to your big Glass screen using an internet connection. Along with full live channels plus and on-demand content, Sky Glass Air also has full access to all the most popular streaming apps such as Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and Apple TV+. Thanks to the firm's impressive in-built Sky OS operating system, you also get personalised recommendations for each member of the family and a Playlists option where you can store things to watch at a later date. The user interface on Sky's platform is superb, fast and fluid in everyday use. And with hands-free voice control, simply say 'Hello Sky…' to turn on the TV, search for shows or genres from Sky and apps, adjust volume, add to Playlist and much more. You might be thinking that €8 sounds too good to be true. Of course, that low Sky Glass Air price doesn't include any premium channels such as Sky Sports or Sky Cinema and the more you add on, the bigger your bill will obviously get. But Sky's top value Essential TV option costs just €18, bringing your total monthly bill to €26. You can also upgrade to Sky Ultimate TV for an extra €7 per month, unlocking even more channels including Sky Max, Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky History and Sky Showcase. And if you don't fancy a contract, the good news is you can also opt to pay for Sky Glass Air upfront, all in one go. Upfront pricing starts from just €419 for the 43in screen with things rising to €779 for the 65in model. Speaking about the launch, Caroline Donnellan, Marketing and Brand Director of Sky TV & NOW, said: 'With the launch of Sky Glass Air, we're bringing the Sky TV experience to even more households in Ireland. Combining an elegant design, superb picture quality and rich sound from just €8 a month, Sky Glass Air is our smarter TV for a smarter price. 'It's about giving our customers their favourite content with greater flexibility, without compromising on the quality our customers expect from Sky." Sky Glass Air is available to buy at Sky stores and using Sky's call centres. It will also be on sale in Currys stores later this month.

Sky's new Glass TV upgrade now available to buy for much cheaper price
The Sky Glass Air smart TV is now available to buy in the UK, with shoppers able to get their hands on the sleek smart TV with Sky built in from £6 per month Sky has launched a brand-new model of its TV lineup as the Sky Glass Air hits the shelves. Announced earlier this month, it's the latest version of Sky's own smart TV with Sky and streaming apps built in. With prices starting at £6 per month, the Sky Glass Air is designed as a slimmer and more affordable version of the Sky Glass Gen 2, which starts at £14. But despite its cheaper price, the Air still boasts a 'vibrant' 4K HDR Quantum Dot screen and Dolby Audio speaker system. Other key features include hands-free voice control, intelligent and personalised recommendations and an easy plug-in-and-play setup. Sky Glass delivers TV and streaming services through WiFi, eliminating the need for a satellite dish or Sky box. Announcing the new TV, Carli Kerr, MD of Sky TV and NOW, said: 'With Sky Glass Air, we're bringing the Sky experience to more people through a beautifully designed TV with stunning picture quality from £6 a month. It's all about giving people better for less: more choice, great tech and the content they love, without compromising on quality.' Sky Glass Air is available for £6 when paired with a Sky TV package such as the £15 Essential TV bundle. As well as more than 100 channels, this includes free subscriptions to both Netflix and Discovery+, with Sky Cinema and Sky Sports available for £10 and £20 respectively. Shoppers can pick up the Sky Glass Air with its 'sleek design [and] slim frame' in three sizes, 43', 55' and 65'. There's also a choice of colours including Sea Green, Carbon Grey and Cotton White. For those preferring to buy their TV outright, the Sky Glass Air can be purchased for £309. Alternatively, Amazon has just cut £150 off its 43' Fire TV 4-Series, now £279.99, while Samsung is offering 10% off its higher-end QLED and Crystal UHD TVs, like this 50' QLED Q7F2 at £539.10. But for those sticking with the Sky Glass Air, the tech experts at What Hi-Fi, have given it a thumbs up in their early review. They said: 'Sky Glass Air seems pretty respectable for the price, with a detailed and colourful image that can deliver punch when required. 'The biggest draw is Sky OS and its long list of features. The ability to access shows and add them to a system-wide playlist regardless of the service they are hosted on remains a fan favourite, while the voice interaction system is robust.' However, they also noted a potential flaw in the sound, adding: 'It's a noticeable downgrade, with the TV delivering a thinner and less atmospheric sound overall, but it does a solid job of prioritising clear vocals. 'Overall, the Glass Air seems to make a strong case for itself, especially with the price in mind. It's a cheaper Sky Glass that retains the Sky experience at its core, and cuts back on a few of the more premium features offered by the Glass Gen 2.'
