If the dimmable shades could block all light that would be best. The ones on the 787 can't so I would rather have the old fashioned type.

They do not have to go row by row "sir/madam could you please open/close your window shades?" Prior to landing or preparing the cabin to sleep mode.

Hopefully based on the recent posts on the thread the dimmable shades will
block out light especially when people want to sleep. The fact is everything will have its downsides and technical problems so hopefully the kinks will be worked out for the 777-9

The first generation dimmable windows did not block as much light as newer ones — Here’s an article talking about the newer version added to newer 787s. I read that the 777X version will be the faster dimming one; my guess is that it will also block more light.
