Battery Life makes this product a no-go

First off, let me say I really wanted this to work for me. I have a pebble steel and love it and hoped the 360 was the next step up on the smartwatch chain. In many ways it is. It looks gorgeous and far more expensive than it actually is (although I think the stainless on black looks better than the black on black). The screen is bright and responsive and overall I like the functionality. It looks good with a suit or with casual wear.
Are there some issues software-wise? Of course, but I don't see anything that can't and won't be fixed by v2 of android wear (eg, keeping notifications for later review a la pebble, or the ability to turn the screen on with the button only)

The reason I returned mine is because the battery life is unacceptable. I would put on my 360 typically at 6:45AM. With light-moderate use, it never lasted past 3PM, sometimes far less depending on how many notifications I received. Now with a phone, I can drop it on a charger during the day and not lose functionality-with a watch, not so much. My pebble goes 5-6 days between charges. Now I know some people will say, "why not have fewer notifications on the watch?"-Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the watch then?
As it is, I think Moto is on to a good thing and I'm excited to see what V2 brings to the table. In the meanwhile I'll continue rocking my pebble.

This HDTV features full 1080p resolution for exceptional detail and picture clarity. The Quattron quad pixel technology adds yellow to the traditional RGB pixel format, enabling a wide array of vibrant colors on the screen.

Internet Connectable?Yes

So I just picked up one of these over the weekend and so far, so good. This review is based on initial impressions and limited play time, so I may update this post in the future.
AESTHETICS: It pretty much looks like every other LCD TV out there. Black bezel all around, small manufacturer logo on the bottom. There is a somewhat irritating "system on" light on the bottom of the unit when the TV is on, but this can be turned off in the setup menu. All in all, it's a good looking unit and while not as thin as some LED units, is still plenty svelte for your wall.
PERFORMANCE-VIDEO: I am by no means an expert, but so far, the picture looks great. Out the box, the contrast and Brightness were turned way up along with the 120Hz processing, which gives you the "soap opera effect". Once I turned off all of the "extras" and turned down the contrast and brightness, I got a much more natural picture. Viewing blu-ray on this is something to behold. Regular TV (non-HD) doesnt look all that great, but to be honest, most of my viewing is HD content. (I use Directv currently)
Videogaming is fine, no lag issues (Xbox 360 and PS3). Again, I'm not a professional gamer and I play occasionally, so me noticing a difference of 1-2MS is lost on me.
PERFORMANCE-AUDIO: I use a separate audio system so I have no clue how the speakers sound. Let's be honest, why would you drop 3k on a TV and then depend on the internal speakers? AT a minimum get yourself a soundbar.
EXTRAS: This would be the widgets and Apps included onboard. The widgets are neither here nor there for me. I usually have my phone nearby, so interrupting my TV watching to check stocks or look at twitter is something I wont be doing. The ability to pull up Netflix and pandora on the TV though is great. (I previously used my Xbox for Netflix). I jacked an ethernet cable into the TV, so I'm unsure now the wi-fi works (I've read reviews where the signal strength isn't very strong, so be warned).

Overall, this is a great TV and most retail outlets including BB is willing to deal on price, so go in ready to negotiate! I guess the only thing missing is 3D and to be honest, I could care les. 3D is not a closer for me. It'd be nice to have, but I was looking for a 70" with great picture quality, so I'm happy. 4 stars as a 5 star review would be for something with Pioneer Elite Picture quality. Hope this review helps those who are still on the fence.

These speaker cables perform! Optimal might flash in your mind when you hear the sheer perfection of the sounds that happen when you connect your home audio speakers to an amplifier or receiver. This 14 AWG speaker cable is from the Magnolia premium home theater assortment. It features a long-grain copper design for fewer grain boundaries and lower distortion and semi-solid concentric packed conductors for excellent signal conductivity.

This is my 1st time using AudioQuest cables and thus far I'm satisfied. Solid build quality for both the outer layer and the copper wiring as well. I used the Monster quicklock banana plugs and for much less than the cost of the way overpriced pre-terminated cables (stay away from those-total ripoff) I have custom lengths (3 ft for the center speaker, 7 ft for the fronts) that fit my needs. I definitely recommend these for anyone stepping up their speaker game (I run a Boston Acoustics system).
On a related note, I give much props to the staff of Magnolia-They know their products and the level of service is heads and shoulders above your typical "blue shirt" in the rest of the store.

What's great about it: Great, well made product
What's not so great: A little bit pricey, but you get what you pay for!

I actually had to buy this TV elsewhere because Best Buy doesn't have it available yet!
The picture is great! I used to have a 60" LCD, but had to get rid of it when I saw the 70" available. Hands down, one of the best pictures I've seen. The Quattron technology is great! Sharp really did a great job with this!
The only thing I was suprised about was the tiny screw holes in the back of the TV that are used to hang it on the wall. They are so small, that it seemed scary thinking they could support the weight of this TV on the wall.
The speakers aren't great, but I assume if you have this size of TV, you'll have some type of surround sound attached to it.
The 3D glasses are somewhat pricey, but can be found elsewhere for a little less money. When the Superbowl is broadcast in 3D, I'll have to have a BYOG party (bring your own glasses...)

Those screws you speak of....
October 3, 2011
...are to attach a Wall mount. I have the same TV in the non-3d flavor and the screws used for the base screw into those holes as well and work perfectly for mounting to a VESA mount.
Just a heads-up.
