First thing first – the Sky Glass gen 2 is still extremely heavy. While it’s actually lighter than the first-generation Sky Glass – almost 5kg lighter – unboxing and setting it up is still a mission. It needs two people just to unwrap, lift it out of the box and place it onto the stand and my TV unit.

Comparable mid-range TVs, such as the Samsung DU6900 series, weigh 10kg less than the Sky Glass, though it’s maybe not exactly a fair comparison, given the Sky Glass gen 2 has a premium metal chassis and a built-in soundbar, which obviously adds a lot of heft. Still, it’s something to consider if weight is a huge priority for you. If it is, then you’ll be pleased to hear that Sky is set to launch the Sky Glass air later this year, a lighter version without the integrated soundbar. That should make it easier to pick up and move around when setting up.
