LG tricks interviewees into thinking their new HD TV is a window - General

I hope they gave those guys a hug afterwards, they looked like they needed it.

Normally I'd believe some of these, like hehe must be clear. But unfortunately the parallax is something that would stop people and wouldn't feel like a it was a window unless the screen tracked their position when they moved.

"hahaha that's great, can I have a Job?" "these isn't a job" :'(

Given that their elevator prank was faked, I don't really believe this one. Cute, though.

I can't really buy into this. Your depth perception would give it away instantly that you were looking at a flat image.

People can't forget that when you're shocked you don't really pay much attention. I want the video they used for this, though :v:

The first thing you'd notice walking into the room was that the "window" was a flat image if you have at least one functioning eye. Walk towards a window if you don't believe me.

Afraid I agree. They're WAY too close to the screen not to wonder why more of the city below the frame isn't becoming visible as they approached it. It's the kind of thing that would make you frown and investigate. You wouldn't instantly know why it was bugging you, but it would bug the SHIT out of you anyway, because an instinctual sector of your mind is telling you, "something about this is REALLY wrong." To pull it off for real, the window would need to be further away, or else there would need to be a FAKE glass window, and a huge TV screen somewhere beyond it to negate the flatness enough for the mind to satisfactorily buy.

people believe this?

They won't be focusing on the window, even if it was fake.

There's no way a TV could light a room naturally like a window does.

That TV is a wee bit under 12000€ here. May as well get one for each room!

it's not real but it's still a pretty good ad

Here's an even more obviously fake "prank", also by LG: [video=youtube;NeXMxuNNlE8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeXMxuNNlE8[/video] See how when they change the camera angles, they also adjust the picture displayed on the TVs? That way the perspective looks correct from that particular point of view, but at the same time it would look completely wrong if you were inside the elevator.

You can easily tell it's been green screened at the end when they're standing in front of it.

Thanks LG now when I see a meteor heading for my house I'll assume the window was a TV put there to prank me and die GG

It would look like a painting. It's not a subtle change. It's completely obvious for what looks like a 65" TV or larger. It has nothing to do with the threat, you're misunderstanding the problem. It's not like, "Wait a second, we're at X and Y position there is no way there is a meteor here." It's more so, "Wait, I walked in and the image is exactly the fucking same, looks like a picture.
