On critical projects, I burn a test disc and check it on a 51" calibrated HDTV and a 25" CRT TV. Any type of TV you might use for viewing your work would need to be calibrated. Consumer units don't have built-in calibration ability. You would have to plan on how to calibrate. Viewing on composite using SD is fine, the color will be the same, just not the resolution. Bottom line, I would get a professional LCD for the workstation that is made to be calibrated. It's expensive, but makes life a lot easier. Even a wedding needs good color.
