Daisy Chainable Monitors

Wouldn't it be great if you could plug multiple monitors into one device with only one cable?
Most laptops have only one HDMI port, which means you can plug exactly one monitor into them. Handling multiple monitors means your laptop would need additional HDMI ports.
My idea is to build monitors with expansion ports, specifically to add additional monitors. Technically, with a system like this, each additional monitor you add increases the number of total pixels, but not the number of monitors, so the computer will still see it as one monitor... just a bigger one.
So the computer, cable TV / Satellite converter won't need any special cards or drivers. The host system will see it as one screen with a resolution directly proportional to the connected monitors.
This also means that you would configure the arrangement of the monitors by using menu options on the monitor itself, because the host system would only see one monitor.
