I want to run quadruple monitors and I need monitors that can support a resolution of 1920 x 1200 and have a displayport interface. I want the smallest bezel possible so they'll look nice next to each other.
Answer
You will find fewer 1200p, next step up is the 2560x1600 ultra high resolution monitors. But official HD is 1920x1080 so most makers have those. If you run higher pixel count on the monitors, you will need more capable video card(s)--2GB VRAM and perhaps 2 or more cards in the MB.
The DisplayPort interface on a monitor might be difficult. You can get just as good by using a DisplayPort out from video card, adapter to HDMI or DVI dual link, and feed monitors that.
Thinner bezels are only available from a few makers--Samsung has one down to 6mm. http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/monitors/LS23MUQHB/ZA

LG and NEC could have some by now.

Please be informed that if there is an extremely narrow plastic border around the edge of the screen (only 2mm!) when the screen is OFF, you will see it is much wider when the picture is ON. The panel makers have to do some edge connections and strengthening behind the front cover glass. All super thin bezels are not the same!
You can cut the gap in half by doing overlaps--yes one will be in front of its neighbor by a half inch. If you sit about six feet away that will not be so noticeable. And your brain starts to ignore the black borders after a little bit.

the superwide Alienware curved display, http://www.desktopreview.com/default.asp?newsID=868 but this seems to be a type of projection display. It has 3 OLED type panels with lenses and mirrors in back of a translucent screen. The curvature is so bad that focus suffers.
There is another maker with a special glass overlay with a linear lens. The standard monitor is underneath, the lens spreads edge pixels sideways to blend to the next screen (software compensates to smooth the image without distortion).
The cheapest way is for projection and end blending. I did that about 40 years ago with still and movie projectors in theaters. Now video projection can do that quite well, but not at highest resolution yet. You can get some 720p video projectors for about $460 each at http://www.amazon.com/Optoma-HD66-Lumens-Theater-Projector/dp/B002ZWU33U/ref=dp_ob_title_ce or older used ones for about $300 each.
There are some 1080p ones out too for more: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/viewsonic-1080p-dlp-home-theatre-projector/prod3000469.ip?refcd=GL05251200010030&pid=_CSE_Google_PLA_Office-Supplies&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=sku3404465S
