Watch out Samsung and LG, Sky just made its TVs look way more affordable
Sky is back with a new deal that is offering its Glass TVs from just £4.50 per month.
Sky is offering a very cheap alternative to TVs from the likes of Samsung and LG. Sky Glass Gen 2 and Sky Glass Air were both launched last year and offer full access to live and on-demand content via a simple broadband connection. That means there's no fussy installation or annoying dish needed to be drilled into walls. These connected screens were already pretty tempting, but things have just got even more enticing for homes wanting to make the switch.
Shoppers can get their hands on the new Sky Glass Air smart TV from £4.50 per month.
48-month contract
Sky has just announced a 20 percent price cut ahead of the upcoming World Cup, with things now starting from just £4.50 per month. That low cost is for the Sky Glass Air telly which features a 4K HDR screen with Dolby Audio. Those wanting the improved Glass Gen 2 with a pixel-packed 4K Quantum Dot screen and in-built Dolby Atmos soundbar will need to pay £11 per month.

Now, before you get too excited, there is one big caveat. Those low prices do not include any premium content to watch. That has to be added on separately via additional bundles. For example, you can add the Sky Essential TV pack from £15 a month, which includes over 100 channels as well as Netflix and Discovery+.
Then there's the Sky Ultimate TV Pack, which includes Sky channels, HBO Max, Disney+, Netflix and Hayu (coming in July) for £24 a month.

Basically, the more you add, the more you'll pay. As a quick guide, a home buying Sky Glass Air and adding the Sky Ultimate TV Pack, along with Cinema and Sports access, will find they get a monthly bill of around £60 per month.
Other things to note are that all of Sky's TVs come in different screen sizes, including 43, 55 and 65-inch. They can also be purchased without a contract, with things now starting from just £237.
As we mentioned earlier, Sky Glass is powered by the internet, so some fairly decent speeds are required for the best experience. Express.co.uk recommends homes have at least 50Mbps available.

If this all sounds like a lot of money. Don't forget that there is now a cheaper option for those who want to stream TV. Freely now comes baked into TVs and offers the ability to watch over 50 channels without needing a subscription. Currys and Argos are selling Freely-powered tellies for just £109.
