I have a Sharp {Idontremember} panel, black&white
, 16 rasterized "shades"
of grey. The case is dark grey/black and there's a wide fan on the other end
and a flip-up cover exposing contrast and other controls. It can do
VGA and (EGA/CGA or Hercules) with the appropriate cables. It might have
been a QA-25 but I'm not sure.
The QA-25 was quite pale in colour, but was superceded
(very rapidly) by a VGA model in black plastic. This seems
to be the one that you've got. Sharp UK were most unhappy
to find themselves with stocks of the earlier model at a
time when the PS/2 had just come out, the VGA was the "in
thing" and their old LCD panels wouldn't work with it.
The controls were really small dials and a couple of
push buttons.
The small dials were for adjusting the gain of the three
colour channels of the (analog) VGA input.
