Is it because the top of the RF wall is almost indistinguishable from the further back bullpen wall? I don't know, but I do know that it looks wrong every time a HR ball goes even just close to it.
It also doesn't help that the poles aren't just poles, they have a fence wing a foot or two wide that only go in which makes the actual pole look in fair territory. But I'm aware of all these things and those home runs still look foul.
You're right, different camera angles help, but I think they need to remodel it a bit, like the bullpen or the stands or somehow make the actual pole more noticeable while making its fence wing less noticeable.

You are correct the screen does add to the illusion but for me, it doesn't stick out. The HR that looks foul? I do see balls that are fair look foul at times but they don't particularly bother me. I guess, my brain reacts with "must have curved behind it" while yours is saying "that's not a fair ball!". I think our eyes just see it differently from the same perspective. Hey, we're not all the same, we see what we see and react accordingly. It's all good
