OBSOLETE, use the ``--fs`` option.
Try this option if you still experience fullscreen problems.

---screen=<all|current|0-32>
- In multi-monitor configurations (i.e. a single desktop that spans across
- multiple displays) this option tells mpv which screen to display the
- movie on. A value of ``all`` means fullscreen across the whole virtual display
- (in this case system provided information is completely ignored), ``current`` means
- fullscreen on the display the window currently is on. The initial position
- set via the ``--geometry`` option is relative to the specified screen.
- Will usually only work with ``--fstype=-fullscreen`` or ``--fstype=none``.
- This option is not suitable to only set the startup screen (because it
- will always display on the given screen in fullscreen mode),
- ``--geometry`` is the best that is available for that purpose currently.
