HDMI Cable for PSP 2000, PSP 3000 Handheld Console

This cable is very long and easy to use. I had some trouble with video quality initially, and the supplier immediately sent me another. Thanks for helping me play my PSP games on the big TV!

Only gave it a four for build quality. Only because I expect major manufacturer standards for electronics. Youll need to be careful with this if heavy use is expected. Manufacturer was extremely helpful with attached notifications on how to use the device and where to reach out to them if assistance is required.

Purchased this device and it works great! now for the story. At first when i got this adapter i was getting a display from the psp but the color pallet was all messed up. However, after contacting levelhike who responded in no time, i was able to get a quick replacement that worked beautifully. He also asked for the old one back to do test on it. which tells me that not only will he make things right for the customer but he is also analyzing units to make them better. His quick response and smoothness in handling my claim makes this device a win/win if your on the fence. While yes the rigidness of the cable going to the psp doesnt allow for a case to be on the psp while in use, i have found some grips for the psp that allow it to feel more like a controller. which is really what you want if youre going to pay on a TV am i right?

Great product. I love being able to play my PSP on the TV. My TV doesnt have component inputs so it was either HDMI or composite. The composite input method was ugly and small. This device solves that problem.

(Video Review for this posted on GamersXtreme.org, as the file size was too large) When the PSP entered the market back in Japan late 2004 and early 2005 in North America, it served as Sony’s first gaming handheld device that was set to compete with Nintendo’s handheld dominance. While it never sold near the numbers of Nintendo’s handheld, the device itself was still excellent and one worth owning. Throughout the years, the PSP received model revisions: the original PSP-1000, slim PSP-2000, slim and more vibrant LCD PSP-3000, and the all-digital PSP Go. When the PSP-2000 model released, all further models received a feature that let users output their PSPs to TVs to play their games on. There were composite and component cables released for them, but in our current technological standpoint, those inputs are becoming more difficult to find on TVs. The folks over at LevelHike have been on a mission to provide HDMI solutions for retro gaming consoles, and the PSP is one they put out recently. They kindly provided us a review unit so let’s give this a look. The PSP HDMI adapter is very simple to use. Simply plug the device into the AV out port of the PSP, plug the micro USB adapter into the device to power it up, and plug the HDMI cable from the device into the TV, and then go to the PSP’s display settings to output the device to the TV…and that’s it. Oh, and you can also just hold the display button on the PSP device itself for a few seconds to switch the output to your TV as well. You’ll notice the device itself has a Menu and Game toggle switch, which lets you basically change the aspect ratio to either keep its native output resolution, or fill the whole TV. Now, the device is not meant to upscale the visuals by any means, so jagged edges will be present and more noticeable than on the portable screen itself, but that’s no different than if you used the official Sony component or composite cables. Throughout my use of the device, everything worked really well. There was no noticeable lag at all, and visually everything appeared to look identical to the output the official Sony cables. Even audio is handled quite well and nothing sounded off or jarring by any means. Even during video capture, the visuals and audio were on-point. Now, the device retails for $29.99, which is reasonable for what it is intended to do. The ability to play PSP games on the TV (without a PlayStation TV device, which is fetching for a fairly high price currently) is always one that intrigued me since the PSP-2000 model released. Seeing that the PSP got this HDMI adapter is pretty great. Just remember, that if you only have the PSP-1000 model or PSP Go, this will not work. This is strictly for the PSP-2000 and 3000 models. I know this review is probably on the short side, but I really don’t have any gripes with it after testing it out the past few months. The build quality of the device is pretty solid, and it does exactly what it’s meant to do quite well. LevelHike may not be a popular known brand like Hyperkin or Pound, but this is the second unit we have reviewed of theirs (the Sega Saturn HDMI being the first) and I’m pleasantly surprised at the quality of the their product. Whether you want to play your PSP games on the TV, capture footage, or stream games, this is a must-have for any PSP enthusiast.

Really great little gizmo. Play your psp on the big screen without breaking the bank.

This product is great no problems at all highly recommend.

Does what it says. Psp on your TV.

I have a lot of digital media on my PSP. So I use this in tandem with a dock, to watch movies on a large tv screen. I basically bring my entire movie library on my psp and this allows me to enjoy them on any tv. It works well for games too but I don’t typically try to play psp games on my tv. Now it doesn’t do any smoothing or fancy features. Even still it does exactly what it says and for its price you can’t beat it.

I love the video quality produced by the HDMI adapter. PSP component cables are pretty hard to find these days and my TV doesn’t support component.
