I do not have a tv but I have a nice 20 inch cinema display.



Can I hook up any of the consols to that?

    Most likely.



    What inputs does the 20" have?

    pitfalls:



    - You will have to use the special VGA cable for the 360 (and a VGA->DVI converter if there is no VGA input).



    - LCD displays are fixed resolution devices (unlike CRTs which can switch between different resolutions). The resolution of the monitor may not be supported by either the 360 or the PS3, and I don't know if the monitor can scale non-native resolutions.



    - If the PS3 decides to use HDCP, then it will not work with the monitor



    Best try your friends console before you buy.
