it is actually possible
you can get an adhesive (or tacky) mirrored film to put over the screen, which will act as a mirror when the monitor isn't on, but will allow the user to see whatever is displayed on the screen when it is switched on.. much like some mobile phones act like mirrors until the display is on..
you can buy the mirrored film specifically for this
(well, not specifically monitors, but any display)
