Sky Glass burst onto the scene in 2019 - but one of the biggest concerns for some is how thick it is due to the built in soundbar.
Now the firm is hoping to get around that by cutting back on the soundbar to make it a lot thinner.
And it means the Sky Glass Air is cheaper than the standard Sky Glass too.
A subscription for the TV itself starts at £6 per month, with a 48 month interest free loan.

And the lowest package, Sky Essential TV - which comes with over 100 channels including Sky Atlantic, as well as Netflix and Discovery+ at no extra cost - costs £15.
Combined, for £21 per month, viewers are effectively paying less than 70p per day for the service.

Sky's internet-based TV products save everything in the cloud, so some act as links to each channel's own streaming service while others are recorded in the cloud.
The advantage is that you have no storage limits like a Q box, but it also means you don't have control of how long it stays online - and you can't rely on it during rare outages too.
Sky Offers Free Movie Gift and More
The new Sky Glass Air TV goes on sale from June 10 in three colours - Sea Green, Carbon Grey, and Cotton White.
There are three sizes too, including 43-inches (from £6 per month), 55-inches (from £10 per month), and 65-inches (from £13 per month).
"With Sky Glass Air, we're bringing the Sky experience to more people through a beautifully designed TV with stunning picture quality from just £6 a month," said Carli Kerr, MD of Sky TV & NOW.
"It's all about giving people better for less: more choice, great tech, and the content they love, without compromising on quality.
"From the ultimate performance of Glass Gen 2 to the incredible value of Air, there's now a Sky Glass to suit everyone, whether you're new to Sky or already with us."
Instead of going into a 24 or 48 month contract for Sky Glass Air, customers can opt to buy the TV outright if they prefer.
43-inches costs £309 and 55-inches is £509, while the 65-inch option comes to £649.
Those who want more channels can upgrade to Sky Ultimate TV for an extra £7 per month Sky Max, Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime,
Expert predicts the future of Sky Q
A TV expert believes it's "unlikely" Sky will ever release a new satellite product.
Paolo Pescatore, an expert for PP Foresight, told The Sun it is "highly unlikely" Sky will ever release a new satellite box "given the investment and timescales with the TV switch off that's around the corner".
Last year, Sky signed a contract extension with satellite operator SES that takes the service up to 2029.
"Ultimately Sky would prefer to migrate all users onto its IP based products which in turn will lead to the end of Sky Q," Paolo said.
"It is reliable, robust and serves customers needs.
"They do not want to buy another telly with Sky inside for now."
