I hate those windows, when fully dimmed they let through a lot of blue light, and blue light is bad for sleep.

On the other hand though I detest window seat passengers who insist on having the windows closed for take-off and landing. I'd like to know when to expect a thud, thanks. The electric shades are nice in that aspect because they are never fully opaque.

Don’t you have to have the blinds up for take off and landing? You definitely do in Europe.

I don't know, it would make sense for the US FAA to require that but I don't have the authority to ask that of the window seat passenger, and most flight attendants don't care.

They're more concerned that my seat back is not pushed back by the 3mm that they move.

They are equally strict about the window blinds in Europe.

I don't travel enough on other airlines to make generalisations.
