My home office where I spend most of my time, is lovely with large windows and views of our lovely, mature garden. Except it's east facing and the powerful Lancashire sun means I cannot see my computer screen and end up closing all the curtains and sitting in the dark.
So I would like to buy some blinds but only if they will stop the glare/reflections on my screen so I get the all the natural light in this room but can see my screen and continue my shitposting.
1) There are things called "sunscreen" blinds which look like they should do what I want but the websites tend to talk about them in terms of privacy. i.e. stopping people seeing me in my shorts and singlet doing my P90X at 5am.
2) They come on 1%, 3% and 5% and a variety of colours. I assume colours don't matter but what opacity do I want? Or do I need something thicker if I want to solve my problem. I don't want blackout as I might as well just continue to close the curtains.
3) I am happy with roller blinds that fit outside the frame and don't need the ones that fit on each pane of glass inside the window frame (there are four panes in my window).
4) There are lots of places that sell blinds Can anyone recommend somewhere?
Thanks in advance.

PS finally I get to post a proper PFM thread where I ask a banal question looking for some practical advice relying on the fact that PFM is full of middle aged blokes with too much time on their hands and endless hobbies and there is always somebody who knows everything about any issue
