The C1 NES TV (ファミコンテレビC1) (also known as the My C1 Computer TV (マイコンピュータテレビC1)) is a television produced by Sharp Corporation with a built-in licensed Nintendo Entertainment System. Originally released in Japan, the unit was released in the US in 1989 as the Sharp Nintendo Television.[1] The C1 NES TV is notable for having provided the high-quality screenshots displayed in video game magazines of the period, due to its having slightly better picture quality than the NES.

The C1 NES TV is a television set developed jointly by Sharp Corporation and Nintendo that features a built-in Famicom system. The system was licensed by Nintendo and was released in 1983 to Japanese markets. It was noted for having a clearer picture quality than the original setup requiring a Famicom and composite video connection. For this reason, screenshots featured in video game magazines of the time were often taken from the C1 NES TV.
The system featured two in-built programs, JR GRAPHIC and TV NOTE, and in Japan it was shipped with the game Donkey Kong Jr./Donkey Kong Jr. Math - at the time of its release the only licensed multicart made for the Famicom.[2] This cartridge was unique to the Sharp C1 NES TV, and it featured a combination of Donkey Kong Junior and Donkey Kong Jr. Math (similar to the Mario-Duck Hunt package released with the original NES system).
All models came in both a red and a black color.
