I envison a plane connected by laser beams on a plane emitting a grid of laser beams ...a virtual mirror, as it were, more perfect in pixiality than a physical mirror, and more reflective and which could be more magnifying in opaqueness than any glass mirror if it's convexity was also designed into this mirror?

  1. Yeah, so this question makes no sense.  You should explain your vision more clearly.  But I can tell you this, laser don't reflect light.  Lasers are light.  Light is electromagnetic fields.  Electromagnetic fields are what is called "linear" which means the sum of field A and field B is A+B.  This is a fancy way of saying the first field does not care if the second field is there or not (on the contrary, if it were not linear, like if a and b equaled a*b or something like that, then a would care about b).  Since A does not care about B, then A will go on it's merry way after it passes B.  That is to say a light beam will pass right through another light beam as if it wasn't there (have you ever crossed two flashlight beam?  Well, 2 lasers do the same thing).  So if it passes through, then it isn't reflecting.  And a mirror requires reflection.  Therefore, lasers will not make mirrors.
