PSP to TV Projector by Core Gamer.

So you started to get yourself a few movies (UMDs) for the PSP, but don't want to buy a separate DVD copy to watch on the TV? There is a solution available for consideration. Core Gamer has released a “NO-MOD” device that enables PSP movies to be seen on a TV.

The unit has a power button along with a focus and brightness adjustment. It snaps onto the PSP quite easily, but is not as snug as it should be. Two plugs are inserted into the PSP. One plug is for audio, while the other provides power to the PSP. The unit requires you to use the original PSP power adapter.

It uses a mirror to reflect the images on the LCD to a little camera. This results in a video quality loss and color distortion. However, the focus adjustment does allow for a sharp picture, but the loose fit may also leave you rotating the PSP or product so the images are level on the TV.

While the unit is a great idea, the “NO-MOD” aspect has some drawbacks. The “NO-MOD” aspect results in a significant loss of video quality, which I personally find to be unacceptable.

If I am going to purchase DVD quality movies for my PSP, I want the same quality if I use a device to share it with the TV. I don't think the device is worth more than $20, thus making it absurd to spend $50 or more.
