Infact the 5151 was originally the display for the IBM DisplayWriter, a word processing machine released in 1980. It wasn't designed with the idea that the user could reprogram the video hardware himself, which explains the numerous design shortcuts. Since the IBM PC development team had a limited budget, they just borrowed the DisplayWriter's monitor. Most third party monochrome monitors for PC compatibles had proper power switches and horizontal oscillators. Also it seems that most of them were amber rather than green.
