That would need 2 gfx cards ? Or what gfx card has 4 X DP out ?
 
Both Nvidia Quadro and AMD FirePro range cards have 4+ DP outputs.

If not used for 3D the entry level ones will be fine. And can often be found cheaply from server pulls etc.
I am sure I have seen some aftermarket consumer cards which have 4x DP ports however cannot remember who by.

Most modern NV cards support 4 monitors, 3 DP and 1 DL-DVI not 4 DP as standard. Amd may also.

DisplayPort should be able to daisy chain monitors - there are 1DP - 3DP hubs available. - Depending on resolution that may also be a alternative, I have no experience of them however.
 
Never tested it but my Dell 29" UW supports daisy chaining so in theory you could run 2 on each DP (think that is about the max bandwidth wise).

At one time I did consider getting a single ~40" 4K panel and sit my UW alongside it in portrait for similar (not audio) kind of use though for running multiple applications extra physical monitors probably work better for being able to position/maximise them to the screen.

- 2x 40" phillips 4k displays would be pretty epic and give you 7680 x 2160 = 16.5m pixels.
- 2x of the smaller 32" 4k Benq bl3201pt panels
- 2x 34" UW 3440x1440 panels get close at around 10m pixels, but you'd then either have to deal with a very wide display or a very tall one. probably not ideal.
- 3x 2560x1440 panels would interesting also amount to exactly 11,059 ,200 pixels. Spooky. So that's an option. cheapest option i believe, 3x of these, for example, £660.

Why are those monitors called 'GAMING MONITORS'?? I have always wondered why that is, with the 6ms response time, and 60hz refresh rate, whats so 'gaming' about it?
