#2This is going to be interesting to watch, as many low-end digital signage solutions do not have the ability to fully shut off the displays they’re attached to (and I suspect some high-end billboards will have displays fully decoupled from media players, etc.)

#3I wish the whole world would do this stuff. Light pollution sucks. It's understandable from street lights but other sources aren't as excusable.

#4This will chiefly affect commercial billboards and the like, which should not be even allowed to ever emit light (or exist) IMNSHO.

#5Other than in iconic urban spots, where it's a nice spectacle, we don't need these.

A hardware store timer should solve that problem

Don't these have some kind of basic "oh, I've had no signal for 10 minutes, guess I'll turn off"?
I have two such displays in the office (Nec something) that have input sensing and a shut-down timer. They're pretty old, too (they were already there when I joined 7 years ago).

For real, when they installed some of these ultra bright billboards by the street, I'd get blinded by them as I waited at the traffic light, especially on shorter winter days. The operator claimed they don't run them in the dark, but that was definitely a lie.

I don't have a problem with that because the likely workaround for those will be to not be allowed to be on at all. :-}
