How do I stop sun glare on my computer screen?

Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings suggests a sheer roller for everyday glare and a blockout roller where sun hits the screen directly.

We deduct 10 mm from the width only (10 mm in total). Do not deduct anything yourself. For a face fix, add 100 mm on each side and 100 mm above and below. No deduction applies.
