That'd have to be a pretty intense "oh shit" moment, then to realize you just got punked.

I can't help but be skeptical that they are simply actors making a commercial for how life-like the TV is. How can anyone mistake a TV for a window? A TV is a flat 2D surface, the real world outside a window has depth and perspective to it.

Use the magician's #1 tool, distraction - distract them by engaging them eye to eye, face to face. Besides, at the distance portrayed in that telescreen image it's easy to emulate perspective. Add sound effects and some THX type rumbling movement and you have your 'perceived reality'. It's clear that NLP was employed in this case.

I had the same thought but in this case the window wouldn't be focused on, it was just a background, a normal window. It'd be different if you were standing in front of it and looking out.
