The _only_ problem with what you are suggesting is center bezel. I hate the idea of an eyefinity group of 2x2 or 1x4 or ... anything that uses even numbers.
Also, they keep stating in their product descriptions "ultra thin bezel". I don't think that word means what they think it means. If I built this out of laptop screens, the 3x3 array would have physical separation of pixels (including both bezels) of less than 6mm. With a glass IPS display, I don't think you can do it in less than 40mm.
