24" LCD monitor vs. 26" LCD TV?

I need to decide between this:

or this: http://www1.us.dell.com/content/pr [...] l=en&s=dhs

The 24" monitor is:
Max Resolution: 1920x1200 (WUXGA)
Response time: 12 milliseconds (b/w, typical)
Image Contrast Ratio: 1000:1 (typical)
Brightness: 500 cd/m²(typical)

This 26" TV is:
Native resolution: 1366 x 768 (WXGA)
Response time: 16 milliseconds (b/w, typical)
Contrast: 1000:1 (typical)
Brightness: 500 cd/m²(typical)

It is for my office. I will be using my 17" widescreen laptop at the office, and need a monitor to show presentations, videos, etc.

My experience with TVs in the past is that it just isn't worth hooking up a PC to them, as the picture just isn't good enough. However, as I will only be using it for presentations, I am thinking that in this case, the TV above may be the better choice.

Anyone have any comments? For about 10-15 people viewing in a small office space, do I get the bigger screen, or the smaller one with the better resolution?

First off, thanks for the response! Very appreciated.

In another forum (where I posted this same question) there is a user saying that since the LCD TV is a high definition TV, that it is a MUCH better picture than regular TVs, and that as I am wanting to use the monitor/TV for a group of about 10 people, the extra 2" on the TV (plus the fact that it has speakers as well) make it the better deal, even though it is a lower resolution.

I am not sure which direction to go.

Anyone else have any comments on this?
