Q: Running 4 screens as one with Mac Pro Late 2013

Hello there, got a Mac Pro late 2013 edition driving 4 60" 1080P screens in a 2x2 configuration.  Trying to make those work as one 4k display.  Was able to get it working to allow us to display a page across all 4 displays.  But have not been able to get a video to display across all 4.  Our current  configuration has also been very finnicky and anytime we move the webpage around, it snaps the window to be full screen across the bottem two displays. 

 

Anyone have any idea's as to how to make this work the way we are wanting to?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    "Fullscreen" is a garbage feature ported from IOS and the iPhone, the land of tiny screens and one-at-a-time processing -- AVOID it at all costs.

     

    This will work as long as you stretch a Window across multiple screens, and turn OFF all hints that you want multiple, independent screens.

    Is there a conspiracy afoot to bring that much detested (haXd is too strong a word here) "Metro" to every darn desktop OS in the world???

     

    I will say that Metro brings text to the level of Cocoa rendering and just wish that all user interfaces had crisp clear text that really helps as my eyes and progressive lens don't always.
