Hmm... that would be a problem.

So you're saying that using a material there that isn't reflective like a 
mirror, but spreads/diffuses the reflected light might brighten without 
creating a second image.

"right up against the LCD itself" ... Geesh... how much room is there 
between the back edge of the LCD and the case?  I just assumed the 
reflective material would be in direct contact with the back of the LCD.  
But re-thinking with what you've said, would there still be a double image 
problem even there?  The LCD has a depth.  If there are crystals back to the 
rear of the monitor, I wonder how it manages to focus them all onto the flat 
surface of the screen.

Also, by adding the reflective material and pumping up light output from the 
fluorescent illuminating bulbs, do you then end up running the risk of the 
image beginning to 'wash out'
