edit - after reviewing the threads, looks like some might be photoshop. i'm not going to rule out the possiblity of a webcam type setup though. the problem with a cam would be the wide view angle needed with stuff right next to the back of the lcd.

Could it be a picture on the desktop lined up well with the scenery?

its not photoshop, its just someone took a picture and put it as their backgriund, then set up the laptop so that the background image coincides with the rest of the scene. They have tons of them at the website this link goes too.
Which kinda begs the question why people post that its photoshopped when it would take 10 seconds on google to figure out its not.

when I was in HS my teacher had a transparent graphing calculator she could put on an overhead projector. It was monochrome though.

Well it's like Basseyhead said, they give off no light. There are SVGA color ones like your teacher had, people put them in DIY home projectors. Problem is, they don't give off their own light, needs a backlight.

he's right. I have done it with my monitor before, just take a picture of what's behind it, and make it your wallpaper, and take a picture of the monitor lined up well .

Does it have to be a BACKlight? What if you mounted lights around the edges of the screen? Would the light penetrate enought to get to the center of the screen?

Either method is certainly feasilbe. Personally, my vote's on photoshop - there's only the single patch of glare on the panel, and it looks a little fake to me.
Then again, doing retouching for a living, I've seen plenty of stuff that I know to be real that looks *really* fake once it's an image.
