Ermenta, we've had our blinds for about a year now. We ended up ordering Monterey 5% Cloud White N001 from Blinds.com. I am very happy with the 5% openness factor and glad that I didn't get 10%. The shade does a good job of balancing the view/glare when the sun is shining directly on the shade. It's not super clear, but it's clear enough for me to enjoy my view IMO. When the sun is not shining directly on the shade, the view becomes extremely crisp with just the slightest hint of highly transparent veil of white over it. If you order a darker color shade you will preserve your view even more. I like the way my white shades keeps my room light and bright even while cutting down on the glare. A darker shade may darken your interior, which may or may not be an issue for you. I use my shades mostly in winter when there are no leaves on the trees. In my northern climate I crave as much sunlight as possible, so I'm thrilled with my white shades. At 5% openness there is still some glare into the room, but it's not too bad. I think the glare might have been problematic with 10% openness. At 5% openness, I wouldn't want a TV or computer screen facing the window directly. My screens face away from the window, so screens are not a problem in this room. Another thing I discovered is that a shade layered over an insect screen will form a moire' pattern. This may or may not bother you. I don't really notice it so much with my white shades, but it might be more noticeable with a darker shade. I hope this helps.

I like the ShadeStore. Their website shows the openness with a background behind it. It give you an idea of what it may allow to show through. They have quite a few nice pictures on the site depending on the solar shades you are interested in. The cost to automate the shade is very expensive through the ShadeStore though and I don't know if it can be automated at 105".

Wow what a view! Just gorgeous!!! Don’t blame you for not wanting to cover up even for a minute. I also didn’t want shades and I have just installed solar film on our back windows, I also didn’t want to darken the room.. We installed a film that has very little color in them but supposedly blocks like 97% of the harmful UV rays. You cannot tell that they have it on. I was just saying though what if this is all hype and they really aren’t blocking the rays?! Haha I have only had them about three months so no way to know for sure I guess. I really haven’t noticed a difference at all with them on. When you touch the glass they are hot though so maybe not allowing the heat to pass through.

@ptreckel I agree! We learned this the hard way. The Edison bulbs were too dim. We tried brighter Edison bulbs with higher wattage (with clear glass shades), which were harsh on our eyes and made the space unevenly lit and full of shadows. Now we are on the hunt for shades with diffused light.
