It will also give you a stiffer(lower impedance) supply rail, which helps with voltage regulation when picture content changes. On the down side solid state devices are less resilient to voltage spikes. In heavy duty audio applications it's common to see 2 or 3 diodes placed in series to lessen the chance of a melt down if one shorts.
