Yes, at full opacity it's pretty much a normal aircraft window. I'm on a 787-8 at the moment, and even on the penultimate dark setting (so 4 out of 5) I can (just) make out the Danube, the shapes of fields and main roads - so on full opacity you would be OK at least at the window seat . I think the complaint I sometimes see here is that on maximum darkness something like a sunrise is still visible, albeit somewhat obscured.
