Two benefits from this. Pixel perfect display (no stretchy weirdness like bunanson likes and no need for cropping)
Scaler has high quality (bicubic) and preserves aspect ratio. Pixels are stretched keeping all the proportions. So you just get a bigger picture. Nothing is cropped, so you still see black bars around the picture for the videos which are not 15:9.

and not having to constantly waste time doing all of the video conversion junk.
No time is wasted on scaling, so no win here. This operation is HW accelerated and done by LCD controller.
