In linear color space, the reflections on the screen should be a pure Add operation.  I'd just leave the screen off and then Add the new material on top.

Of course, that would be pure realism, which is probably more reflection than you want.  Use Levels on the reflections to dial them in, but I'd still stick with Adding in linear space.  You can use the color profile converter to do this on just the Add operation if you don't want to set your entire project to linear.
