You will most likly get a lot of distortion from reflection of the reflected light

You could you use non-reflective plexi, but that's expensive...

If done right it might decrease ambient light on the screen. I would assume most ambient light hits the screen from very steep angles. A glass pane would reflect most of this (Optics - look up Brewster's angle). The projector hits the screen from almost perpendicular, so reflection would be minimized.

Uhh.. the idea is that you DONT want the ambient light reflected and you DO want the projector light reflected.
