get a non-glossy monitor and turn the brightness up as high as possible?

You can get high brightness screens, they're something like 1000NIT which is viewable in direct sunlight.

there is always the option of making a hood for your monitor made out of card board

Get some sort of transparent plastic sheeting such as acetate that is stained a light grey colour and lay it over the top of the screen, it should help you see it a bit better in direct sunlight but you will lose some colour fidelity. Also have the brightness as high as it will go.
