The IBM 3153 Terminal is a later-generation monochrome display terminal designed for IBM AS/400 and mainframe environments.
It supports both 5250 and 3270 emulation modes, allowing compatibility with a wide range of IBM host systems. The device features an improved ergonomic design compared to earlier 31xx terminals, along with enhanced display clarity and configuration flexibility.
The 3153 was commonly used in business, banking, and administrative environments where reliable text-based terminal access was required.
It represents a transitional generation of IBM terminals, bridging older green-screen systems and more modern PC-based terminal emulation.
