I have an outdoor TV that sometimes catches a bad glare. Any recommendations on a good TV enclosure to give it some shade?

TIA

The issuest solution is to determine where the reflected light is coming from and install an outdoor shade to prevent it. You could build a simple box with extended sides IF the angle the light is hitting it is obtuse enough. If it is hitting the screen at a highly acute angle the box would have to be very deep and significantly cut into the viewing angle. We use a sun shade at the camp for this very reason.

There are some anti glare films you can get and I've heard they help.

They will help if it is just mild to moderate "mirror" effect but won't do much for a direct sunlight hot spot. Further most of them reduce the light from the TV at high vertical viewing angles so the higher the TV is above you seating position the more light from the TV it will block. If the film is rotated 90 degrees it will rectify this but cause the horizontal viewing angle to be reduced.
