I’m setting up a lil gaming corner in the spare room and the window thing is driving me nuts. room gets absolutely blasted with sun in the afternoon. at night i play mostly story-driven single player and need it basically pitch black or i can’t get into it, but on weekends i’m just playing casual stuff and sitting in a dark cave at 2pm feels kinda depressing ngl

so it’s regular blackout roller shades vs dual-layer zebra blinds. i rent so motorized no-drill is a must, and i’d really like to control it from my phone or set a schedule since my desk is right next to the window and i don’t wanna get up mid game. been looking at Bringnox and SmartWings but idk, i haven’t really compared them properly yet. my monitor sits across from the window too so side light leaking in and washing out the screen is probably my biggest worry. dual-layer is a good bit pricier and i’m not sure it’s worth it just for a bit of daylight sometimes

how are you guys handling this? any regrets?
