4. Smart Features
Despite having a remote controller, Sky Glass can be operated using voice and motion commands, meaning customers can simply say “Hello, Sky” or walk pass the display to wake up the TV. It will also learn from watching habits and suggest related and appropriate content, across all the streaming platforms and apps in the TV.

5. Eco Features
Sky Glass offers a few energy-efficient features including auto switch-off, auto-adjusting screen brightness and overnight power saving, which promises to reduce electricity consumption by about 50%. By minimising its packaging and using 100% recyclable materials, Sky Glass is now the world’s first TV to be certified as a CarbonNeutral product.
