How to view laptop screen outside in the sun

Hi,
is there anything you can buy to put on top of a laptop screen so it is easier to see out in the sun? Its *far* better viewing it inside, bit of a pain viewing dark stuff outside

Not much you can do with regular laptops, bar hiding under a blanket.
You can get filters that stick ontop to help with glare, but you still cant see anything.

Good ones come with special high nit displays and special coatings such as.
Panasonic toughbooks, and dell atg's which are designed to be used outdoors and work perfectly in direct sunlight.
