How to make a big screen out of several 19" monitors?

It is possible to take 19 "monitors inexpensively.
Is it possible to create one large screen from a dozen disassembled monitors?
Disassembled - so that the frame of the case does not take up a lot of space.
And such screens - so that the pixel is small compared to a TV, and the cost is lower than large monitors. Such a budget multi-
monitor.What are the real disadvantages of such an undertaking?

the software by default is unrolled on one physical monitor. It won't be very convenient. Maybe you can get around, I did not visit.
Inside there is not just a matrix, but a so-called package of backlight, reflector and matrix. The shortest inflexible cable usually sticks out of the package, which is plugged into the board screwed to the case. We'll have to fence, something that will hold it. The packages are not particularly designed for the fact that they will be without a protective case - the cables move away from the matrix and the pixels go out in stripes, this is not scary, but it will infuriate. If these are not led monitors, then a couple of thousand volts will still run between the board and the package. Also, the packages often have bolts sticking out on the sides and a thick metal frame underneath that hides the backlight (sometimes not all)
ATI can handle up to 6 monitors, but check for which models and price tag =)
The idea is real, confuses 10k power supplies (or sockets) if you do not bother with power. And it's more embarrassing that the matrices can be different in terms of uniformity of color-flare.
ps I have two 27" and one 19" connected

it’s cheaper and easier to buy a couple of 4K monitors under 40+”, no? I recently bought a simple LG for ~ $ 500 and now it stands as a monitor for a desktop player (I practically don’t sit at it, I use it as a media center and for toys) In general ,
there will also be problems with how to connect the whole thing to each other.

It's easier to take a pair of large ones with a thin frame - cheaper, safer, faster.

What is the actual task?
Make a video wall - so old monitors with run down lamps, and even different models, will be of different colors and different brightness. No viewing pleasure.
And if you work on multiple screens - it makes no sense to disassemble. Why - Walt Disney painted in detail. Attach to brackets and use.
