I've seen a similar trick used in Patrick McGoohan's 'The Prisoner' where a TV was mocked up to show a colour image on a set that was clearly a monochrome one.
Cheers, Pete.

I assumed they were using studio monitors in The Prisoner for the TVs, maybe tweaked to prevent any flicker.
For 2001: A Space Odyssey all the monitors were back projected & synced to the cameras, not surprising considering Stanley Kubrick's perfectionism.
