The '''Sharp Nintendo Television''' (often described as the '''C1 NES TV''' and officially sold as the '''Game Television'''; originally released for Japanese markets as {{Nihongo|'''My Computer TV C1'''|マイコンピュータテレビC1|Mai Konpyuta Terebi C1}}) is a ] produced by ] with a built-in licensed ]. Originally released in Japan in 1983, the unit was released in the US in 1989. The C1 is notable for having provided the high-quality ]s displayed in ]s of the period, due to its having slightly better picture quality than a Famicom or NES paired with a separate television. The concept was followed up in Japan by the ]-based ] in 1990. |

== Overview == |
|
|
The C1 is a television set developed jointly by ] and ] that features a built-in ] (originally Famicom). The system was licensed by Nintendo and was released in 1983 to Japanese markets and 1989 to American markets, and supported until 1989.<ref name=assembler/> It was noted for having a clearer picture quality than the original setup requiring a Famicom and ] through an ] connection. This system used the 2C03 PPU which supports native RGB output for the highest quality picture at a cost of some compatibility and color limitations with games. For this reason, ]s featured in ]s of the time were often taken from the C1.<ref name="Plunkett">{{cite web|url=http://kotaku.com/5787855/this-nintendo-was-inside-a-television-set|title=This Nintendo Was Inside A Television Set|last=Plunkett|first=Luke|date=1 April 2011|work=]|access-date=15 April 2012}}</ref> |

The system featured two built-in programs, ''JR GRAPHIC'' and ''TV NOTE'', and in Japan it was shipped with a multicart containing cut down versions of '']'' and '']''. At the time of its release, this cartridge was unique to the C1 and represented the only licensed multicart made for the Famicom.<ref>''''. FamicomWorld. 2009.</ref><ref>''NEWSCLUB Premium Goods プレミアム グッズ - プレミア付、ってだけで興味あるでしょ? : 金では売れん自慢の一品''. ]. No.347. Pg.179. 11 August 1995.</ref> The second licensed Famicom multicart, ''Final Fantasy I & II'', would be released in 1994 at the end of the Famicom's life. |

When the TVs were released in the United States, Nintendo and Sharp used the regular composite output only PPU, the 2C02, for the TVs. While the picture was not as crisp as with the Japanese C-1, this avoided any compatibility issues. Even without the RGB PPU, the picture quality for the U.S. versions of the Sharp TVs were superior to many home console connections because the system was connected via a straight composite signal directly to the TV. Just like the original ], It also has the ] region protection chip. If the game does not load, it would consistently reset, much like a normal NES system; the "P" on the channel indicator would not turn on and off, however, like the original NES's power light. |

The Japanese C1 did not have a lockout chip, and it would play any standard Famicom game, or any NES game using an appropriate adapter. Because of the design of the FDS RAM Adapter, due to its shape, users cannot connect the FDS to the C1 without modification, however it is possible to couple NES to Famicom (60 to 72 pin), and Famicom to NES (72 pin to 60 pin) adapters in series, to attach the FDS to the C1.{{citation needed|date=November 2019}} |

Because the C1 uses the RGB PPU, and RGB output in general, all C1 systems suffer from the 'NES Jailbars' effect, which is exceptionally pronounced on this system.{{citation needed|date=November 2019}} |
