This makes a lot of sense. High nit monitors, are extremely hot. (they’re basically light bulbs), and the hotter they get the shorter they last. In that case it makes a lot of sense to maximize airflow and heat dissipation, not just one or the other. And from a design standpoint it does so in a very thin space which is important because equivalently bright monitors are about a half a foot thick if not an entire foot thick. I’d imagine the effects are still helpful for a hot computer as well. People are really under appreciative about the design and engineering work that went into building the latest Mac Pro, the monitor (and even the stand), but I realize I’m probably in a very small minority of people.
