This is transparent on desktop and is used primarily on embedded platforms where the GUI is not powerful enough to render GLES at 1080p with a decent fps but the hardware video decoders have no problem running at 1080p. This type of hardware typically has multiple display layers with a hw scaler to handle scaling/blending of the GUI to display resolution.
So we setup and run GLES at a lower resolution (ie, 1280 x 720) and configure the hw scaler to scale to the full 1920 x 1080 display resolution. This type of setup is used for amlogic, sigma and cex41xx. RaspberryPi seems to have a very strong GUI and can render the GUI at 1080p without problems.
