Just make the lenses polarized. That'll block the ads from screens. Allow the user to reach up and dial in the orientation for optimal blocking

They'll just make the screens' polarization angle the same as your glasses'.
wow, really? did you miss the point of being able to dial in the optimal polarization?
The point you edited in after I made my comment? Yes.
nope. it was there in there originally.
Hmm, maybe it didn't click that by "orientation" you meant polarization, very odd though. I could have sworn that wasn't there.
i don't know your experience with polarizing filters, but in photography, they are adjustable by rotating them so that you can align them to achieve the effect you are looking for. this is what was meant my orientation.
