[[File:SF-1_SNES_TV.jpg|thumb]]The '''SF-1 SNES TV ''' (スーパーファミコンテレビSF1) (, also known as the '''Sharp Science Fiction-1) ''', is a television produced by [[Sharp|Sharp Corporation]] with a built-in licensed [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Released only to Japanese markets, the unit retailed in 1990 as a next generation sequel to the 1983 [[C1 NES TV]] also manufactured by Sharp and licensed by [[Nintendo]]. Like the C1, the SF-1 was noted as having superior picture quality to the SNES.
==Models==
[[File:14G-SF1_&_21G-SF1.jpg|thumb|14-inch & 21-inch models]]The SF-1 came in two different models varying in screen sizes.
*14G-SF1 (14-inch screen, retail price ¥100,000)
*21G-SF1 (21-inch screen, retail price ¥133,000)
Both units were colored gray, and both included a ROM-cartridge plugin-slot just above the screen.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SF-1_SNES_TV#cite_note-4]</sup>By merging the SNES and the television into one unit, the Sharp SF-1 avoided the problem of exposed power cords and other cables. This gave the unit the advantage of being easier to handle. With internally connected SNES-SF1 terminals, luminance and chrominance signals could be separated,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-soviero_2-1">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SF-1_SNES_TV#cite_note-soviero-2]</sup>and the resulting image quality was notably sharper than other non-hybrid SNES setups.
Unlike Sharp's earlier C1 NES TV, AV output terminals were made readily accessible on the SF-1's extended terminal which allowed connection to later peripherals such as the [[Satellaview]]. The [[C1 NES TV|C1]] had been notably unable to connect to the [[Famicom Disk system|FDS (Famicom Disk system)]] peripheral, and the SF-1's design was intended to alleviate this problem. To use the extended terminal, the Satellaview's AV output terminal would attach obliquely upward on the back of the Super Nintendo portion of the console, and a cover could be applied to prevent dust.
