Best type of blinds for a home office

I work from home and need to reduce screen glare without losing too much daylight. What type of blind works best for a south-facing home office window?

"Personally, I would go for a soft, transparent vail. This would reduce glare rather blinds would let slithers of light on to the screen"

This is not an advertisement...it is very good and regulates the lighting in the room."
