What I would recommend is making more like a box tube, and cutting it at an angel of about 20-30 degrees. Use flat black foam core, and make the tube long enough so the screen will reflect against the side of the tube. This will give you a reflection free view of screen. Looking straight on with flaps, and you will just see the sky or daylight bright background behind you.
I made something similar to tape on my DSLR viewfinder, so I could see it in daylight better.

I know you are not that technical, but here is the basic numbers.
Check out this comparison.

Back with Vegas 11 or so, when GPU timeline acceleration introduced, Vegas recommended the HD5770 for recommended configuration. As you can see by the Vegas Compute ranking the very olf 5770 out performs the GTX 750.
The onboard R7 GPU associated with the A10-7900 CPU only has about half the compute units that the Vegas recommended GPU has. The GTX 750 in terms of compute specification is almost identical to the R7 GPu in the A10-7800. Nvidia has the issues of not supporting the OpenCL standard well, that Vegas uses for timeline and rendering.
You might try and uninstall the Nividia drivers, and the CPU, and run off the A10-7800 GPU and see if you there is much Vegas difference. Make sure to adjust the GPU settings under preferences, and in the rendering template.
Not exactly sure how the A10 GPU appears to Windows with the NVidia installed, you may be able to just select the ADM GPU under Vegas preferences with out uninstalling the NVidia GPU. This would make Vagas use the AMD GPU for timeline compute, and the Nvidia for display. This may be something to test out for zero cost.
Next I would source one of the following for improved timeline and rendering in vegas: AMD hd 7970 (ebay), R9 270x (new), R9 290X (new). The 7970 has 6x the compute units of the A10 GPU, and more than the new r9 270x.
Looking into a Dell XPS with a 4th Gen i7-4790, 16GB ram, plus a one of the cards above would be your best bet for a performing Vegas configuration.

Manfrotto has their digital director that comes with tripod mounting hardware.
The thing about the ipad I would think is light falling on the screen, and issues with using it outdoors.
A Zacuto Z-finder, or the new Zacuto EVF would be a more versatile setup for indoor and outdoor settings.

I posted this on the Sony forum, and have made other posts recommending a few things to check.
Verify your GPU is interfacing at 16X speed with GPU-z.
Check your systems DPC Latency with something like DPClat.exe, or Windows Performance Analyzer. You may have some onboard device or driver that is acting up.
Run a test with USB 3 Turbo mode off in BIOS.
Verify OpenCL operation is good with Luxmark v2.
Try some playback tests using XDCAM, HDCAM-sr-lite, or XAVC and see if the same problem occurs.
Just some thoughts.
Use only GPU enabled effects and plugins.

Could be what Steve says. Make sure you are choosing an “Internet” preset vs. a Blueray or AVCHD, that might make a difference. Not really sure.

I would just follow the link instructions and get the license. Back when MS was selling win8 for 20 bucks, I got licenses for all my machines for less than the cost of one full license now. Free optional upgrade is a pretty nice deal.
The latest win10 build 10159 is very stable, and a nice hybrid of Win7 UI and Win 8 under the hood.

Use progressive if you are uploading to Youtube or serving from a web server. Basically the difference is the file data is segmented vs one long data stream. This allows the browser video player to start playing before the file is fully downloaded. Otherwise you would need to wait until the file is downloaded from the server before you can start watching. YouTube seems to care about this setting, even though they re-encode your file completely.
Slices is an advanced user setting, if you know why to use it, you know when to use it. My understanding is that some hardware codecs require slices of specific sizes.
You can use up to 320K or anything below. Vimeo just limits what you can upload, so people are not uploading huge files for system crunch time, and user experience reasons.

What are your specs? Something like Speccy can help to determine this, if you do not know. You can share the speccy file via dropbox. There might be driver, bios, crapware, or other stuff that needs to be cleaned up.
I would try the following:
Apply all windows updates. reboot
Uninstall all old software or trails you are not using.
Malware bytes Scan and cleanup. reboot and rescan if anything is found.
CCleaner – cleaner, reg clean, disable any startups you do not need.
Windows Disk Sweeper – enable the “clean Windows System Files” clear all the windows update restore files. Reboot and check for Windows Updates, reboot after any updates.
Disable your built in sound card in BIOS, if you are using an external device.
Now verify that you have the latest Video drivers, motherboard INF, USB drivers, Sound Device drivers, and Firewire drivers for your system. Reboot after any driver updates.
If Vegas still does not work, try the reset Vegas to default key hold down trick.
Slow boot times and long black screens, could be driver related, some element of hardware initialization failure, or a device that is intermittently failing. Pulling hardware from the machine, and disabling integrated components can ferret out these devices. Do this on a trial and error routine, one device at a time.

Both Sony AVC and the MC .mp4 have High Profile settings. You select the Profile level in the template settings. AVCHD is high profile MP4, with respects to what you are looking for. XAVC is yet again another higher level to MP4.
Under your render as settings, select SONY AVC > choose one of the Internet profiles, and change to match your project size, frame rate and interlace. You can also adjust the bit rate setting for the max 20,000,000. According to Vimeo this is max bit rate you can upload to them. Bit rate is variable, and so talking heads will not use the full 20mbs, but fast action gaming might. Save your profile as a new template for future uploads.
Audio tab set the audio to 320,000.

You have specified a nice gaming machine. You can generally double minimum requirements for decent experience. At the moment 4K spec is in the realm of high end Xeon motherboards.
Proxy editing would probably be the best workflow, that way you are not spending time rendering resolution you do not need to see during editing. Clearly CC and configuring certain effects need to be done as full res.
16 cores, means 16 physical cores and not 8 physical with HT. The HT spec would be 32 cores.
I would do 64GB of RAM on an X99 machine, so that you have plenty of room for application, background, and copious windows disk cache.
Choose the 390x over the 390, always choose the XT chip vs pro. XT chips are what the flagship Firepro cards use.
