The ultraslim classroom- and computer lab-friendly L171p also features a tilt/swivel height-adjustable stand that moves 45 degrees left or right for optimum viewing angles, a sharp 700:1 contrast ratio, and an eight-millisecond typical response time that makes it possible to enjoy fluid, full-motion viewing with reduced blurring or ghosting. In addition, the L171p includes convenient direct-access buttons for brightness, automatic image setup for quick display configuration, as well as digital or analog connectors for increased attachment flexibility.

CHANCERY SOFTWARE has added two new components to the latest release of its Web-based Chancery SMS 6.0 student information system solution. The first, Program Management, enables schools and districts to advise on students’ academic and social activity options, and dynamically assess performance and requirements to help each student achieve success. This new component gives SMS users the flexibility to tailor their systems to district and state policies, and to continue to use their best practices to manage student data. The second new component is cTools, which enables districts to modify standard or custom SMS pages to fit their information-tracking requirements, and to create entirely new Web pages within the SMS system. Users can also transfer system modifications between districts and schools that remain intact with each new release of the product. Pricing varies. http://www.chancery.com.
