This has nothing to do with a Macbook Pro, and good luck finding a thunderbolt display for $300.
That 27" display uses IPS technology and has 2560 x 1440 pixel and has a lot of ports. Find a similar display for 300 USD and get that.
Just so you know, you won't find one with that resolution and IPS technology for less than 700+ USD.

This must be overpriced as well then right? And this one doesn't have a complete thunderbolt hub built in.

I suspect Thunderbolt device pricing will drop significantly as it becomes more ubiquitous.
FW stuff was pretty expensive at first too, IIRC.

Both have advantages over the other. The Dell one has tons of ports (mostly useless for Mac users though), while the TB Display has a TB hub (worth about $250-300 by itself)
link on through a 27" at 2560 x 1440 for $300
How about this: $400 27" 2560 x 1440 Monitor
Seems as though the Korean IPS monitor rage caught on and is being sold at MicroCenter now.
While astonishing at that price, and quite ugly, it does not seem to feature an IPS panel.

Although it doesn't specify an IPS panel, the viewing angles and resolution seem to. Also, the literature on the website doesn't jive with the reviews.

If you doubt, simply check out Dell`s equivalent, you will find it is in the same price range, if not more and lacking "Thunderbolt" yes you can source 27" displays for around $350, however they are not in the same league, for connectivity, construction, design, and most importantly quality.

Has anyone stopped to read the thread (can't remember which forum website it is on) about these? Seriously, it's one of those "you get what you pay for" because basically you end up with one of a million models that each have their "quirks" that others have had to be creative to figure out how to fix. Not to mention how hideous they are.
