You dumb, pedantic fuckwit. First off, the only way you're going to see those extra lines is on a very high quality TV. Ahem, that is to say, HDTV.
Joe Blow, on his 25" Zenith from 1990, isn't going to see shit-new in quality from this medium. That's one of the reasons DVD is so nifty - even on a crappy TV, you can tell what's DVD and what's VHS. But the noticibility is exponential, ie, moving from grade "1" to grade "2" is a lot more noticable than the switch from grade "9" to grade "10" (these numbers are completely arbitary and irrelevant to anything I'm talking about).
You claim to have worked in the broadcast industry - which all but cements the fact that you're a complete fucking idiot. Saying "do the research" while skimming over the important facts (like the fact that no matter how nicely you take care of an analogue tape from 1985, it's still going to look like shit today) pens you as not only a complete fucking idiot, but delusional as well.
...he wrote about the transdimensional aspects of, get this, BUYING QUILTS!?!??!?!
ON EBAY?!?!?!!?
Writers as pretentious as this fellow should be forced to step out of their egos and take a long, analytical, good look at themselves and their work from the eyes of a reasonably intelligent human being.
Then shot through the face. At point blank range. No survivors.
And I'm not a violent person.
I mean...
...Coming back to a quilting auction is somehow akin to stepping into a whole new world!?

If it is truly that immersive, perhaps you should invest in a smaller monitor.

Haha! This was actually the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the headline. :P
But why in that order? How about naming them in reverse order of importance? You'd have:
Zeptosecond
Gumtosecond
Chictosecond
Harptosecond
and Grouchtosecond
Twice the lines means twice the quality?
