Dell seems to be rather clever in marking up the price prior to their IPS models.
I've yet to see any Models below 23" which is IPS and yet possess a HDMI input.
I've check thru though, hdmi and dvi actually the same just that dvi doesnt support sound transmitting whereas hdmi does*Who would actually use hdmi to really transmit good sound quality thru the lousy speakers installed in lcds =.=*.
Most model which have hdmi are usually TN panels but if they do have HDMI and yet use IPS it'll be 1.7k above. Models running IPS without hdmi just cost around 650 these days. Basically users are just paying twice the price for dell to include a hdmi input..
I might have overlooked the details since i've just started out checkin up on good display and availability on the market these days.
I've not bothered to look on other brands because they wouldn't state what panel they are using. U can see all the flashy features they've included like first 1ms ,super wide viewing,lagless , ghostless,super accurate life like image capturing. But one thing they'll always left out is, what panel they using.Dell on the other hand state out clearly what they are using which buy customer's trust totally. What's the point of having a 2-3 pages of flashy features where none of them describe what panel they are using.
The panel used actually described best then having flashy features.
Though one thing i looked, anything below RM700 ,22inch or above with hdmi input is definitelly TN panel. Anything with HDMI input and IPS with 24inch above, be prepared to forked out 1.7k or more for it.
I've looked through so far for 22inch with IPS panel due to the fact that i already possess a 24inch lcd and it've eaten half of my desk place. But so far.. only U2211H has the requirement i wanted.. I'd actually tried lookin thru other models but i always give up because of no description on what panel.
U2410 (24") is targeted at professional level, there's such features (110% color gamut, Adobe RGB, etc.) that makes this panel expensive, not just HDMI, it uses better IPS panel (even IPS has different level and types).
Basically you're paying 1 cent for 1 cent product, IPS was never cheap to begin with, even its brother 2209WA is much expensive, less resolution, less features, but graphics wise 2209WA beats U2311H, that's where it's different, Ultrasharp panel doesn't looks at quantity of I/O (DVI, VGA, HDMI, etc.) but rather the panel itself, that's what makes it the IPS.

Through experience, I found out connecting to the monitor via HDMI only supports a few resolutions, while through the DVI, more selection.
I'm saying this as the screen I'm using now is native 1360x768. And there wasn't such option when I connect to the screen using the HDMI cable. The closest thing was 720p. I could also run at 1080i, however, it's the wrong frequency. And it appears blurry on my screen
A driver issue? Problems with the cable?
Judging on this, I'm thinking that the HDMI is more of a replacement for the S-Video and Srgb format, whereas DVI to VGA etc.
HDMI only support 720p and 1080(i/p), and this is not driver support issues, a panel has its own maximum resolution, such as when you choose 1080i on a maximum 768p panel, it'll blur out as it try to cramp all 1920x1080 pixels into 1368x768.
I have no comment on the HDMI to replace the older S-Video and SRGB, because there's still some TV out there support such inputs, for legacy products? Who knows, and VGA definitely comes a long way, and probably will stay for long time.

is for typical users, someone like me will benefit from its better color reproduction (althought not better than 2209WA), better viewing angle (still not better than 2209WA), and cheaper than those overprice LED TN panel on the market. 
, it's definitely a great upgrade from any TN panel.
