If they have such a thing, you'll need to look at commercial models. But even the one's I've seen doing that in commercial settings were probably getting one signal already split into four pictures by a computer or some sort of converter box. I couldn't find anything. Do you just want this because some game you like doesn't support 4 player split screen?

this doesn't exist in a tv.

You can do it pretty easily with a hardware combiner or with a desktop pc

Many AV Mixers include this (among a slew of other features), but they aren't cheap. If your inputs are all composite, component, or s-video, a PC with a bunch of tuners will work.

These are specifically for the security camera hardware.

Or buy a bunch of cheap pci-e cards and get some cheap 15" LCDS and run 4 at once. My roommate had 5 going at once. 2 19s, and 3 15s. All on his cheap emachine. Heh.

^ Cheap smaller LCD's are definately the way to go. You could get 4 17" LCD's for about 140-150 each if you look around enough. If you're looking for this kind of capability in a single screen then you're probably out of luck. If you do find anything like that, it'll cost a ton and it might be worth just waiting for the 48-feed simultaneous display from toshiba to come out (uses a cell processor to handle 48 mpeg-2 streams at once in thumbnail.)
