The serial port was modified to accommodate a new video-out feature, making it incompatible with older PSP remote controls. On the PSP-2000, games only output to external monitors and televisions in progressive scan mode. Non-game video outputs work in either progressive or interlaced mode. USB charging was introduced and the D-Pad was raised in response to complaints of poor performance [51] [52] and the responsiveness of the buttons was improved. [53] But noticeable scan lines aren't the only issue we've found with the new PSP screen--the expanded color gamut of the screen isn't nearly as breathtaking as we would have hoped. In fact, the new screen is also unnaturally augmented. The expanded color gamut does make colors notably more vibrant, yes, but it does so at the expense of white balance.

Overview: The PSP's first revision really got it right. It comes with two times more RAM than the original model in addition to a brighter and more responsive screen. Also, it has a video out port to display to a TV. Also, the PSP 2000 (and 3000) have some of the console's best looking limited editions, so look out for those too.

As you can see, aside from the PSP Go, there aren't a ton of obvious differences between the handheld's various hardware iterations. But just because each console's specifications and features are more subtly different doesn't mean each model is without a unique set of pros and cons. Haynes, Jeff (May 8, 2006).

New to the PSP 3000 is the built-in microphone, located just below the screen. It can be used for online communication, be it within a game or for the PSP's built-in Skype application.
