Everyone has an opinion so I declare I am opinionated. The front of our home faces east and the back obviously is west. Far more important to us we are in a cul de sac. So we see the sunrise in the morning and the sunset at night. As far as sun, we have blinds. Our windows are roughly 8 foot high and end in an arch. Blinds are straight so the arch is opened. WAS and issue with my computer screen. We don't have a TV in that room but I expect that too would be a a problem. SIMPLE and inexpensive solution is to install one of those grey tinting screens. I did it about 8 years ago and it is still fine. The front of our home faces one of those planting, oasis things. Behind us is developed property owned by the villages. They have high dense hedges that they maintain. They own, maintain water etc roughly 20 feet of our backyard. Far better then looking at a wall or your neighbor in their pajamas etc
