The only case I could think of was an industrial control application (not one I'm perusing at the moment) where I was interested in using an off the shelf LCD screen to display status on some power electronics systems. The Balloon was a contender for the embedded processor, but you are right - that one would have to be careful not to let the graphics swamp things. As a "might be relevant" argument, the Begale board has an HDMI connector (which actually talks DVI). Whilst its not the hard use-case you asked for, if it meant a user not choosing Beagle over Balloon, that would presumably be some sort of win.
