Sharp C1
The Sharp C1 (ファミコンテレビC1) was a cathode-ray tube television with built-in Family Computer functionality. It was developed in collaboration with Nintendo and released by Sharp on October 4, 1983. The C1 was the earliest NES/Famicom-compatible console with RGB video output. Consequently, game developers frequently made use of the C1 for screenshots and marketing.
The model number indicates the screen size and cabinet color. The two available screen sizes were 14" and 19", represented by the first two digits. The final letter identifies the cabinet color. For example, 14C-C1R refers to the iconic red 14" C1, while 19C-C1F designates a silver 19" model. A (rare) multistandard version for foreign markets was available as well; these can be identified by the lettering “3-SYSTEM” next to the “C1” on the bezel.
The North American counterpart with a built-in NES was released under the name Sharp Video Game TV. Unlike the C1, the Sharp Game TV has its NES connected to the display by composite video rather than RGB.
