HONG Kong's biggest television screen - which costs a massive $50 million - will only show still slides when it is finally turned on.
This is because the Government does not want to see motorists losing concentration driving past moving pictures beamed on to the street.
Bosses at the new Times Square complex in Causeway Bay claimed they knew the score when splashing out on the huge 7 x 10-metre screen.
Wharf Properties project director Fred Wai said the landmark on the front of the building would show images at 10-second intervals.
''The Government was afraid people would watch the screen and crash their cars,'' he said. ''We knew that before we picked the system.
''People would be unable to read what was on if the picture was moving. Still pictures give people time to read the whole thing and get the message.
