Pick a window seat and have control over those window shades that are most likely going to affect you and your screen.
There are a plethora of threads about this very topic already. And I'll continue to champion for darkness rights.
I'll continue to champion for window seaters' rights.
As long as the airlines don't tell me that the windows are there purely for our safety (during take-off/landing/emergency evacs) I am going to assert my right to enjoy the view from 30k ft. I don't see why that right is less important than the right to watch a movie without light reflections.
That doesn't mean that I am going to be unreasonable when I am in the window seat and have control over the shades. If there is nothing to see and I sense that other people's video watching is impacted, I am closing it at least partially. For sleeping I recommend bringing eye shades (obviously included in amenity kit if you're in a premium cabin), but otherwise good ones are readily available on Amazon or many airport stores.
Maybe in the future airlines will hand out daydream-type VR devices to solve this problem. I might actually try that myself (I have a Pixel and Daydream, but never tried watching a movie).
