I have 56" Samsung DLP, and the Wii looks fine even with composite. However, I have upgraded to component, and yes the picture is more crisp.

So is the upgrade worth it? Yes.
Is it absolutely necessary? No.

If its a choice between buying your Mom a 2nd controller or a game or the component cables -- get the controller or game.
