I would think a non-linear modification like this would be cpu intensive.
I'm sure there are better experts than I, but that would be my gut 
reaction.

My rear projection tv has a similar mode, but personally I don't 
like it for 2 reasons,
1.  Watching a stationary person like a new anchor, makes them have
   3 foot wide shoulders.
2.  Any panning motion creates a bizzar effect as the aspect ration
expand and contract as they move across the screen.

But, that's just my perference.  Some people hate the standard
16x9 stretch, but I quickly got used to it.  To each his/her own...
