Over the holidays I'll be spending a lot of time at my grandmother's house. I love staying with family, but it can get pretty slow here so I'd like to do some gaming. There's a lot of people staying here and there's really no TV that I could get on without feeling like I was hogging it.

I'd like to get a hopefully cheap portable screen that I could hook up to a PSTwo, the smaller model, and then all I'd have to find is an outlet. I could spend some time working my way through a couple of RPGs.

So, what's the best way to go? I've seen a few but not sure where to start or what's easiest to find. It also doesn't have to be something that's officially made for the PSTwo. As long as it works, I'm good. If it's something I could hook other consoles to as well that would be even better. Thanks for any advice.

Edit: Also, is it maybe possible to hook it up to a laptop? I've seen capture devices that work through USB, but I don't want to capture, just to play.

How cheap do you want to go?

Probably the easiest thing would be just getting a small TV like this (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Coby-15-TFTV1525/17208292).

That's just for an example, I don't intend to endorse that particular store or model (or not endorse them either, for that matter).

Holy crap, this may sound weird, but I came to that same conclusion and bought that exact TV earlier today. Hopefully it will work out. Thank you for the advice, though, it helps me feel better about going that way instead of trying to track down a smaller, discontinued product.

Well, how does it look on the TV? I noticed it has a good variety of inputs (being a modern TV, it's a given).
