The newly appointed Japanese tourism mascot has yet another new product under her belt. This time, it's a white/pink or black/red 19-inch TV from Uniden garnished with its now signature silhouette. Putting aside its "cute" factor, this LCD has a unique native resolution of 1,440 x 810 pixels plus all the usual goodies.

We know it's pretty irrelevant to touch on the technicalities here when it's all about the Hello Kitty adoration. But just for the record, this display has a humble 1,000:1 contrast, 300cd/m2 brightness and 5ms response time. It will retail for about $650 according to Akihabara News, and is most probably another exclusive for the Japanese market.
