SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly

[@robwilliamson6181]

Definitely agree with you that’s it’s not a gaming tv. The input lag is terrible. Will say the sound is great and it’s fantastic for 4K blu rays

[@karazor-el9596]

you clearly don't know much about latency if you think 30-60ms is terrible anything below 100ms is fine anything below 40ms is optimal and besides the only real lag that affects gaming is network speed bugger all to do with the tv but nice try kid keep it up

[@harri_shaw]

@karazor-el9596 I have very good WiFi speeds and also have an Xbox Series S. Weather you like it or not the sky tv not having a gaming mode adds more latency than you think. This is also the same for offline games so it is not related to lag.

[@bingobaz6402]

That's the main reason I ordered mines (it's coming on tuesday). I have apple tv, a pc and uhd player to add to this. I won't actually be using sky. Albeit it is there. I only ordered mine so I had a quantum dot display for my uhds mostly. I don't stream my movies. Only stream apple music as it is lossless and brilliant. Other than apple music, I stream nothing..except when I am watching Vids in KZbin. I would love to see someone taking about how this tv works with uhd player connected etc. No one seems to have made a video about this. But give this guy his due. It was a very good review nonetheless. Also good point if you can't get a sky dish it's unlikely your internet will be all that great. But I am not actually planning to use the sky service on my tv when it comes on Tuesday. But I am excited got 65 inch green one coming.

@@karazor-el9596 100ms lol that's a week long in gaming terms pc monitors are 1ms even TVs are 4 to 6.5 ms

Harri I really appreciated your honest appraisal. You know your stuff and its clear to see. I am going to to subscribe to your channel and watch your followers grow. Well done pal.

[@harri_shaw]

Thank you very much

[@Chalky555]

First and foremost, thank you for the video. You're easy to watch and i realise opinion is just that. But you do need to get specifications correct for the viewer to accept your opinion as serious. Sky Glass doesn't come in a 42" format and all three sizes are 60Hz refresh rate. Not 50. They are small but important details. You are correct though. It's not great for gaming. Also, it's not confined to WiFi. You have an ethernet option as well.

[@paulhuby]

Its 43 inch

Hi Harri, good review, at least you have made it interesting and it is really quite comprehensive. The majority of my issues with SKY is not with the Glass set itself, but with the Puck. if Sky was going to improve the Glass TV I would hope they would make it lighter. The 55" set that I own weighs in at a whopping 28KG so it is definitely not portable, the other thing that SKY could do is write an update to synch the sound bar system to work with external surround sound speakers. I have since bought the SKY live camera, which I thought might be a good peripheral accessory but so far it has sat on the top of the TV unused collecting dust. Lastly, I got the Fascia for the speaker (sound bar) which is neither here nor there. In spite of a seamless connection with SKY Glass, and after all the money spent I have opted to watch SKY Go on my Mac Mini M2 Pro computer instead. The only time I watch the Glass TV is when I have bought a film from SKY Store and want to see it in UHD. So in effect, I spent 1000+ quid on 28KG ,paper weight stuck in the corner of the living room which is only used very occasionally (less than 10- times a year). My advice to those prospecting to buy this TV would be to ensure that you have a good to excellent WiFi connection and ensure above all that you intend to get good use out of it.

[@harri_shaw]

Yeh I would definitely say that the pucks are more of the issue and the weight of the tv is ridiculous

[@parmdeepjagdev8395]

Its a really good concept, however I think it needs a lot of improvement for me to consider it. My fear is the WIFI constantly cutting out. Also the lack of recording of TV shows is a major downgrade from what sky q can offer. thank you for your honest review.

[@robefc358]

Sorry if this is a daft question my wife has just ordered a 65 inch TV does the size include the speaker or is just the screen, sorry for being silly 😂

[@harri_shaw]

No it dosent include the speaker size the actual tv size itself

[@johnteckoe5094]

Has the sky glass got input for headphones please🎉

[@harri_shaw]

Unfortunately not

[@robwilliamson6181]

I can connect my apple iPods to it via Bluetooth

[@jwhizzzz]

They did their usual and had me upgrade… I asked if there was a catch and they said no. Those speakers-there are 6 of them. Only two of them work unless you pay for their monthly atmos upgrade. If you leave Sky, the other 4 speakers are dead! 😢

[@harri_shaw]

Yeh it’s such a shame that they do that

[@benmarshall5235]

Really interesting. Do you think 60mps internet speeds would support a Sky Glass TV and a Sky stream box in our flat? Sky claim it's sufficient, but . . . Anyway let us know. All the best mate, and keep up the great work

[@harri_shaw]

It’s very complicated because I had similar speeds and it was ok if only 1 person is watching tv. It also depends who your broadband provider is

[@benmarshall5235]

@@harri_shaw Thanks. The provider is Sky. It's just me and my wife in the flat. And mostly we do watch telly together, but obviously sometimes if she's bingeing MasterChef, and I wanna watch The Soprano's for the umpteenth time we have both telly's on at once. UHD / HDR in both rooms would be ideal And I like the idea of replacing our old LG LED for a QLED I can pay off interest free over 48 months. Interest free.. Anyway thanks so much for getting back to us. BTW how does the picture quality stand up to other QLED TV's?

[@harri_shaw]

Yeh I’d say it holds up pretty well against some other tvs definitely not the best nore the worst. But for your use case the internet should be fine

[@benmarshall5235]

@@harri_shaw Thanks very much indeed for your help. Have a top day

[@davewoodsmusic]

We have a 55 inch sky glass T.V. and 2 pucks and they can all play 4k video with atmos content at once on our EE 36Mbs Internet wirelessly, the sound from the T.v. is absolutely superb.

[@BrotherYusuf]

Sky glass is absolutely terrible £1300 and sky ripped up my agreement as I’m Muslim and made me pay in one week they accused me of being an extremist because I changed my name , Cassius clay 🥊 changed his name , ignorant small minded bunch of bigots and for this much I could of got an OLED and for gaming it’s terrible , the volume control never worked right the software is terrible and the picture is bad and theHDR on the hdmi doesn’t work and the input lag is terrible it’s just so bad in every way except maybe the speakers and sound , oh and it developed light bleed after four weeks Also wouldn’t help me even tho I’m disabled they sent paramedics to my house after wasting my whole Saturday rather than technical fault finding and helping me

[@paulshrubb954]

There no rush for sky stream or sky glass. SkyQ is not going anywhere Yet Sky have confirmed satellite TV will still be here until year 2040.

[@chrispriest1904]

as for the remote you better be working for DURACEL

[@jackiePETTITE]

LOL you only have 20 megabytes speed your 165 megabits equates to 20 megabytes, the minimum is 25 megabits that is 3 megabyte

[@awkwardpatrick1987]

It’s 43 inch not 42 😂😂😂😂😂😂 and it’s 60hz not 50

[@dark147891]

And it can also run ethernet are use mine. For gaming all the time seems like any other TV to me, but then again, I bet you play Fortnite which I wouldn’t admit to if I was you

[@harri_shaw]

Tbh a lot of people won’t notice the delay but I notice a lot of stuff like that 😂😂

[@briancarlisle8886]

My internet speeds are 900 plus and 300 upload

[@paulhuby]

Game mode 😂 ffs
