Altered photos a common practice?

Was looking through some postings, and found this house

One of the images looks funny

What is that a 24:9 aspect ratio tv?

Trying to make the house look larger? is this legal?

I understand making the sky look more blue, and stuff but this goes to far.

Could just be distortion due to use of wide angle lens or post processing BS! In either case, caveat emptor.

well, times for buying a house based solely on pics (or even sight unseen) is a thing of the past.

They make a bigger than 16:9 TV now.......I'm not sure this is it, but they make 'em.

I think you are looking at glass doors covering the tv...doesn't it look like a vertical seperation in the middle? Just a guess.
