Launched this morning, all-in-one TV designed to be powered by a single cable and looks very similar to the Horizon:

Sky Glass: New 4k UltraHD smart TV set to replace satellite dishes and boxes | Science & Tech News | Sky News

Decent value and good to see there's a 43" version.

Any ideas who made this?

Ideas, sure...  Samsung, which uses the phrase "nano-crystals" for their Quantum Dot displays, matches the phraseology in that article.  LG just calls them nanoparticles, though their "NanoCell" surely are crystalline.  Samsung's lowest-end "QN60A" 4K Neo QLED screen comes in a 43" size, MSRP USD 550.  LG's QNED Quantum Dot NanoCell TVs only come in 65" and 75", and are much more expensive, not appropriate for a Sky OEM deal.  So Samsung is my guess, until the Chinese factories start turning out Quantum Dot screens.  Nice that Sky is using the box's thickness (all sizes 4.77cm deep) to put in 3.1.2 sound system.  By comparison, a Stage is deeper at 3", though there may not be as much spare space in its cabinet.  I like the looks.

I'm interested in the 43" version for the bedroom wall. I live in a new build where Sky was built-in to the wall, but the space above, between the windows, would take a 48", but it would be right at the edge, so a 43" is a better fit.

I like the design, the price is decent and do like the way it's literally a single cable. I just hope it has the BT Sport app though, as LG TVs don't have this, meaning you need an external box/USB stick just for that app!
