The clarity of my new V6va is outstanding. However the screen reflects a great amount of light. When indoors if the light is behind me the screen is like a mirror, making me shift my body to see different areas on the screen.

When outside if the sun is behind me the screen is fairly clear without a mirror image. If the sun is in front of me the screen is a total mirror.
I can deal with the situation outside, just turn around, but is there anything I can do to help me with the screen indoors? My laptop is often situated in a room with windows behind me and no shades.

You kinda have to get used to looking past the reflection than at them. I dont even notice reflections anymore.

That's how glossy screens are, there is no real solution to have that fixed...

You could always buy blinds.

Even with a matte screen, reflections are annoying. I guess you can't have it all.
