It is possible, however you will need a good bit of knowledge of pinouts and be able to do custom modifications. I would not suggest it. Do as supermousie says and buy a cheap screen.

Here are some HDMI ready LCD's with built in speakers. Pretty cheap compared to TV's Some have VGA puts so you can use it with the laptop as well. I do not own any consoles so you might NEED a tv instead. Do research before buying!
