It doesn't work both ways easily. I've found that DisplayPort output from the computer can be converted to HDMI input in your monitor through a cheap passive converter, but I've had a world of trouble trying to find a converter that can go the other way, active or passive.

I've got two of these U2312HMs. Loving them.

Definitely a good pick, only problem is its AG-coating is a bit to strong, but then again this is a standard problem for pretty much all monitors.

I got one of these:
Dell UltraSharp U2412M IPS Panel 24" 8ms
It's pretty fucking glorious. I really wanted a 1920x1200 native resolution, and this one was the closest thing to affordable that I managed. Went on special for $290 & I had a 15% off coupon, so there really wasn't any competition.
It uses "IPS technology and LED backlight," which is not 'true' IPS. You'd need to look at a whole new price bracket for that:
Dell UltraSharp IPS-panel U2410 24" 6ms HDMI
I consider the one I got (as do many other people) to be "entry level, semi-pro" gear. If I was a "real" graphics professional, I'd be looking at the second choice or even moving into the $1000 bracket.
The one I got (U2412M) is lightweight, 24" is luxurious screen real estate, has all the adjustment options anyone could want, has excellent onscreen controls for calibration, quite thin, rotates to portrait mode ... I wish I had two of these. Next year I hope to.
I really like the anti-glare coating on it. That's a deal-maker for me. Glossy screens are impossible for me to work productively on. All my monitors have anti-glare, and this one is the best of the lot. It is a bright & vibrant experience.
Having had it for three months now, the lower right corner has developed a very faint bleed through. It's barely noticeable and has no impact on functionality or movie/anime viewing experience.
The only other monitor that was close was HP ZR2440w 24" 6ms (GTG) HDMI, but it remained about $100 more at all times and I was already stretching my budget. From what I've read, it's pretty much a match for the Dell U2412M; same IPS tech + LED backlight hybrid, but w/ slightly faster response time.
I'm not a gamer in any sense of modern, fast, cutting edge shit ... and, from what I've read, there doesn't seem to be a noticeable difference between these Dell & HP models.

I guess it doesn't have to be hdmi, but I use my monitor to use my ps3 as well and it's the easiest way to hook it up. I could always get an hdmi to dvi but it doesn't have two dvi ports either.

do it like this, use the DisplayPort for PC input, and DVI for PS3/PSP input.
