Almost any 'Glass Merchant' will be able to supply it.
Ask for > Astari Niagara International, cast acrylic sheet, Colour = 101, RED or 103, RED which is a shade lighter. They are clear/see thru if you know what I mean. Not surface coated/coloured.
BUT, it's been recommended to use GREY film, alah..car sun screen/solar filter which can be obtained for free as offcuts & works much betterer at cutting out the white glow without losing the ability to 'read the screen'.. L.

When in the U.S. I bought a bunch from Sloan's Wood shop.

Makes for expensive shipping, I know. I see their thicker red transparent acrylic is sold out, but they still have the thinner stuff, which is easier to work with anyway. Cutting it is a pain, but if you have any shop tools you can do it.

I made my own crude laptop screen with this stuff and some thick foam-core poster-board and ever-useful duct tape. Works great.
