DAY 01
Two hefty men lift the new Sky Glass into my home (full disclosure: I had the old one so they take that away as well as the packaging for the new one). Whereas most 55in TVs can be lifted by one person at a push, this one definitely can’t. Although lighter than the original version, it remains a heavy bit of kit due to its integrated Dolby Atmos sound system – one that’s been made even more beefy with two new opposing bass drivers for the second-generation model.
As well as this 55in variant in blue, it’s also available in silver or grey (with colour-matched remote), and in 43in or 65in sizes. Everything is simple to set up: I just need to plug the power lead in to get started.
