the screen polarization is a deal breaker

Polarization is the nature of LCD (the way the liquid crystals line up), not directly related to glare or reflection reduction.

But most ppl don't wear their sunglasses to watch TVs either:)

Or, you could buy sunglasses with polarisation that matches the screen. They're not that hard to find. I found some for $10 and they look just like Wayfarers.

A film won't change the way the screen polarization interacts with sunglasses. If it's at the same angle, it won't affect it, if it's 90 degrees off, then it will block the screen.

Actually, if the film is 45° polarized, it would sort of "twist" horizontally polarized light and allow some through vertically polarized sunglasses. See the picture below (from this article).
